On the 28th, Hamas issued an official statement confirming that it has recently reached an agreement on the general framework for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza with US Middle East envoy, Wietcov.
The statement indicated that the framework agreement will ensure a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, more aid materials entering Gaza, and the immediate takeover of Gaza affairs by a professional committee upon the announcement of the agreement.
The statement noted that the agreement includes the release of 10 Israeli detainees under the guarantee of mediators and the transfer of a certain number of bodies of detained Israelis in exchange for the release of agreed-upon Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas is currently awaiting the final response from the relevant parties.
