DOHA (Sputnik) - Earlier on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that Israel had submitted to mediators a counter-proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza that was agreed upon with the US.
Palestinian movement Hamas has agreed to a new ceasefire proposal for the Gaza Strip made through Egyptian and Qatari mediators two days ago, the head of the movement in the Palestinian enclave, Khalil al-Hayya, said on Saturday.
The leader expressed his hope that Israel would not violate the terms of the proposed agreement.
Saudi media reported earlier in March that Hamas had agreed to the proposal of a 5-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of five Israeli hostages, including dead bodies.
