The Palestinian militant group Hamas has informed its ally Hezbollah about its agreement to a proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to sources on Friday. The leader of Hezbollah hailed this move.
In a meeting held in Beirut, a Hamas delegation led by the group's deputy leader Khalil Al-Hayya briefed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the latest developments. The sources disclosed that earlier, Iran-backed Hezbollah had mentioned that Nasrallah and Hayya discussed ongoing negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire in Gaza.
Hezbollah and Israel have been involved in hostilities for nearly nine months, raising fears of a full-scale war. A Hezbollah official told Reuters that they would align their ceasefire with any Gaza agreement, indicating a potential end to hostilities.
