Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he accepted US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff's outline for a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

"Israel accepts the new Witkoff outline," Netanyahu said during a meeting with families of Israeli hostages in Gaza as cited by a statement released by his office.

Hamas confirmed on Thursday that it has received a new proposal from mediators for a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

No details were provided by the group about the new proposal.

On Wednesday, Hamas said that it has reached an agreement with Witkoff on a general framework for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
