Hamas announces deal to end Gaza flare-up with Israel
Under the Qatari-brokered agreement, the militants will cease their attacks in return for Israel lifting restrictions at the border.
The Islamist militant group Hamas announced Monday it had agreed to a Qatari-brokered deal aimed at ending weeks of spiraling violence at the Gaza Strip’s volatile border with Israel.
"An understanding was reached to rein in the latest escalation and end aggression against our people," said the office of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. “Several projects were announced that will serve and alleviate the situation for our people in Gaza, given the coronavirus crisis that has struck us.”
