00:00The announcement came just hours after Israel had ordered around 100,000 Palestinians to
00:08evacuate from the southern city of Rafah.
00:11This signals that a long-promised ground invasion could be imminent.
00:16Israel did not comment on the ceasefire deal, while details of the proposal have not yet
00:21been disclosed.

00:42end to the war and full Israeli withdrawal.
00:47Hamas top leader Ismail Haniyeh had delivered the news in a phone call with Qatar's prime
00:52minister and Egypt's intelligence minister.
