Over the past hour, Hamas has indicated readiness for a positive engagement with any ceasefire proposal and has agreed to an Egyptian-backed framework for managing the Gaza Strip, according to AlHadath reporting at 8:26 PM UTC on September 27th, 2025. The group also stated it would not oppose a multi-year truce with Israel, though it views its weaponry as a national right tied to the occupation's existence. Hamas has agreed to the formation of a technocratic committee to oversee affairs in the Gaza Strip, as outlined in the Egyptian proposal. These statements come amidst ongoing discussions and a previously reported US-proposed plan for a ceasefire, which included provisions for prisoner exchanges, humanitarian aid, and a gradual Israeli withdrawal. Previous reports from September 27th, 2025, detailed a US-proposed plan for ending the Gaza war, which encompassed an immediate ceasefire, the release of Israeli prisoners within 48 hours, and the freeing of thousands of Palestinian prisoners. The plan also called for unlimited humanitarian aid and a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In parallel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced earlier on September 27th, 2025, the killing of Hamas operative Muhammad Ahmad Yousef al-Jamal, who was responsible for the death of officer Ch. Insp. Arnon Zmora during a hostage rescue mission. Sari Idris Muhammad al-Aqrab, a Hamas terrorist involved in the October 7th invasion, was also killed in the same airstrike. The IDF also reported the overnight demolition of a house belonging to a terrorist involved in a recent Jerusalem attack. Amidst the conflict, reports from September 27th, 2025, indicated that over 750,000 Palestinians had evacuated Gaza City to the Strip's south, and hospital sources reported 51 Palestinian deaths in Israeli attacks since dawn. Additionally, a separate report highlighted the sale of UN aid flour in Gaza for 50 shekels ($15) per sack.
