London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, citing a senior Hamas official, said that the final framework for the ceasefire agreement has been completed, and consists of three phases.

The first phase of the agreement outlines a partial withdrawal of “Israeli” forces. The second phase would see “Israeli” retain its monitoring points in Gaza, while the final day of the third phase mandates a full withdrawal of the “Israeli” military.
