Hamas accepts UN ceasefire resolution

Hamas has accepted the latest UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and is ready to negotiate over the details, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters.

The group accepts the resolution in regard to the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops and swap of hostages for detainees held by Israel, he said.

Abu Zuhri added that it was up to the US to make sure Israel abides by it.

"The US administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the UN Security Council resolution," he added.
