TEL AVIV, 21 May 2021,(TON): Israeli security Cabinet unanimously adopted Egypt's initiative for a bilateral unconditional ceasefire on 20 May, which would take effect on 23:00 GMT on Thursday. Hamas has also confirmed its plans to abide by the truce.

Hamas' military wing's spokesman, Abu Obeida, said."We say clearly: we have prepared for the strike that would affect whole Palestine - from Haifa to Ramon - but we have suspended this massive rocket strike on the enemy as we have agreed on the ceasefire to watch the enemy's behavior," He added that Hamas could launch this attack in case of the ceasefire's collapse.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the United States said it opposes a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers, reiterating that it could interfere with the Biden administration's efforts to end the hostilities.
