A senior Hamas official and lead negotiator on Thursday laid out what he says are the core elements of the ceasefire deal: Israel releasing more than 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, opening the border crossing with Egypt, allowing aid to flow and withdrawing from Gaza.

Khalil al-Hayya said Israel will release 250 prisoners serving long sentences and about 1,700 people detained in Gaza since the war began.

All women and children held in Israeli jails will also be freed, he added.

He did not offer details on the extent of the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Al-Hayya said the Trump administration and mediators had given assurances that the war is over, and that Hamas and other Palestinian factions will now focus on achieving self-determination and establishing a Palestinian state.

“We declare today that we have reached an agreement to end the war and the aggression against our people,” Al-Hayya said in a televised speech Thursday evening.
