An Israeli official said no ceasefire had been agreed in Gaza after Hamas said it had accepted a proposal from Egyptian and Qatari mediators, Reuters reports.

The Israeli official said the proposal that Hamas had accepted was a “softened” version of an Egyptian proposal, which included “far-reaching” conclusions that Israel could not accept.

“This would appear to be a ruse intended to make Israel look like the side refusing a deal,” said the Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Separately, Hamas official Taher Al-Nono told Reuters that the ceasefire proposal entailed a ceasefire, reconstruction of Gaza, return of the displaced and a prisoner swap deal.
