Hamas's decision came after Israeli officials approved the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the nearly 20-month war in Gaza, which has killed over 54,000 people.

Hamas on Saturday said it had responded to the latest US ceasefire proposal for Gaza, saying 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 others would be freed from Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners as part of the deal.
“As part of this agreement, 10 living prisoners of the occupation held by the resistance will be released, in addition to the return of 18 bodies, in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners," the group said in a statement.
