CAIRO (AP) — Hamas has formally accepted a cease-fire deal that could end the war in Gaza. Israel, however, insists its core demands were not met in the proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar. The Palestinian militant group says the cease-fire would unfold in three phases of six to seven weeks each, with Israeli hostages released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from all of the Gaza Strip and increased humanitarian aid. Israel has previously said it would not agree to either a full withdrawal of its forces or a permanent cease-fire.
