Latest Gaza ceasefire proposal includes 60 day halt in fighting: Report

Reuters reported on Monday that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire that includes a 60 day halt in military operations, according to an Egyptian official. 

The period of suspension would see the exchange of Palestinian prisoners in return for the release of half of the Israeli captives held in Gaza, the source added. 

Around 20 living captives-all military aged men-are believed to be held in Gaza.
