Israel signs off on latest Gaza ceasefire proposal

Israel has accepted a new U.S.-proposed temporary truce with Hamas.

According to the White House on Thursday Israel has signed on a 60-day truce drafted by the U.S.

The deal calls for the release of 10 living and 18 deceased Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian detainees and increased humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Hamas however has reportedly shared reservations claiming the deal fails to address key matters such as a permanent end to Israel's counteroffensive.
