Israel accepted a US ceasefire proposal for Gaza that Israeli officials familiar with the matter said would involve a 60-day pause in fighting and restore United Nations-led aid distribution to the Palestinian territory.

The White House said Thursday that Israel had signed off on the terms of the offer before it was submitted to Hamas, though didn’t give details on its contents. Two Israeli officials confirmed that decision.
