Gaza, Sept. 8 -- Hamas said on Sunday it was ready to discuss the release of all hostages in exchange for an end to the war in Gaza, a full Israeli withdrawal, and the creation of an independent Palestinian committee to govern the enclave.
The Palestinian movement said it had received through intermediaries "ideas" from the American side for a ceasefire agreement and welcomed any initiative aimed at halting the fighting.
Hamas also called for guarantees of Israel's "clear and explicit commitment" to any agreement, warning against a repeat of past deals it said were rejected or abandoned.
