Senior Hamas official Basem Naim wrote on Facebook on Monday that Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire proposal presented by mediators.
"The movement has handed over its approval to the new proposal presented by the mediators," Naim said.
Reuters reported earlier in the day citing an Egyptian source that Hamas has agreed to a 60 day ceasefire in Gaza that will say half the remaining captives in the enclave freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a stop in fighting.
Israel and the US have yet to comment on the report.
