Israel and Gaza have come to an agreement over a ceasefire, several sources have confirmed.
A Hamas official has said the group's leader Khalil Al Hayya has delivered approval of the ceasefire agreement to mediators in Qatar.
The reports in Israeli media said Hamas had issued fresh demands about the Philadelphi Corridor, a strategically important strip of land along Gaza's southern border with Egypt.
An official briefed on the negotiations has told reporters the deal includes a six-week initial ceasefire phase, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, the release of hostages held by Hamas and the release of Palestinian detainees held by Israel.
