Hamas has accepted a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, according to sources in the “Palestinian resistance” who spoke to the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Mayadeen media outlet. According to the same sources, the agreement is expected to be signed today in Egypt.

Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya met with the head of Egyptian intelligence with the aim of finalizing a "historic" agreement on the Gaza Strip, according to a source with knowledge of the talks, who spoke earlier.

Hamas will release the remaining hostages alive on Saturday, according to two sources familiar with the negotiations to The Times of Israel.

US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have signed the "first phase" of his plan to end the war in Gaza.

"This means that ALL hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw its troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps towards a Strong, Lasting and Everlasting Peace," Trump posted on Social Truth.

"All sides will be treated fairly!" he repeated, in a message widely seen as directed at Hamas, which has sought assurances from Trump that it will not allow Israel to resume the war after the hostages are released.

Minutes after Trump announced a ceasefire agreement and the immediate release of the hostages, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in a tweet: "With God's help, we will bring them all home."

An agreement has been reached on the conditions and mechanisms for implementing the first phase of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, which will lead to an end to the war between Israel and Hamas, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of aid into the Palestinian enclave, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid al-Ansari announced today via X.

Details of the agreement will be made public soon, he added.

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum welcomes US President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal to release loved ones from Hamas captivity and end the war in Gaza with "enthusiasm, hope and concern."

"This is an important and meaningful progress towards the return of all, but our fight is not over and will not end until the last hostage is returned," the group said in a statement.

Earlier, United States President Donald Trump had stated that talks on a deal in Gaza are very close to completion and left open the possibility of a visit to the Middle East on Sunday (12/10).

“It’s very close,” he said characteristically in statements from the White House, adding: “We have a great team there, great negotiators. I think there’s a high probability that it will happen.”

“I might go there sometime, towards the end of the week, specifically on Sunday. There is a very good possibility, the negotiations are going very well,” he added. “'Peace in the Middle East' is a beautiful expression and we hope it becomes a reality, we are very close.”

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi previously spoke of "very encouraging signs" and said he had invited Trump to attend the signing of the agreement if it is reached.

Trump's envoys, including Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdelrahman al-Thani and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, are in Sharm el-Sheikh, where talks resumed tonight.

Hamas is demanding a clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas have focused on a cessation of hostilities, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a deal to exchange hostages for Palestinian prisoners, according to Reuters.

Sources familiar with the talks confirmed to the agency that the main sticking point concerns the mechanism for Israel's withdrawal. Hamas is demanding a clear and binding timetable, which would be linked to the gradual release of hostages and ensure the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

According to the same sources, the organization has already submitted lists of hostages it holds and Palestinian prisoners it seeks to release, expressing cautious optimism about the progress of the negotiations.
