Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages, two officials involved in the talks say. An Israeli official says progress has been made, but the details are being finalized.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the proposed agreement, and an Egyptian official and a Hamas official confirm its authenticity. The plan would need to be submitted to Israel’s cabinet for final approval.

All three officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door talks.
