Well-informed Palestinian sources have stated that Hamas is leaning toward accepting the proposed prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement in Gaza, though it has not yet made a final decision. The group is currently consulting with various Palestinian factions before submitting its official response to mediators.
According to the sources, who spoke to Turkey’s official Anadolu Agency, the United States, Egypt, and Qatar have provided “extensive guarantees” for the implementation of the deal, though the specifics of these guarantees were not disclosed. Turkey may also be among the countries backing the agreement.
The sources added that ongoing discussions are still addressing several technical details, including the mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid, maps of Israeli withdrawal, and post-ceasefire arrangements for the 60-day truce period—should that window not be enough to reach a comprehensive and final agreement.
Hamas is expected to submit its official response within the next two days at the latest.
