JERUSALEM, Israel – A possible breakthrough in the Gaza war: reports in the Middle East indicate that Hamas has accepted a previously offered proposal that calls for a 60-day ceasefire and the return of the Israeli hostages.

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir called the Hamas acceptance of the proposal "A turning point in the war."

However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be taking a wait-and-see approach as the IDF continues its plans for the takeover of Gaza City.

"I spoke with the defense minister and the IDF about our plans regarding Gaza City and the completion of our missions," Netanyahu said. "And like you, I hear the reports in the media, and from them you can be impressed by one thing – Hamas is under immense pressure."
