The organization has received guarantees from the US that the hostilities will not continue, Khalil al-Hayya has said

The Gaza war is over, a senior Hamas official, Khalil al-Hayya, has said, adding that the peace plan put forth by US President Donald Trump would mark the start of a "permanent ceasefire."

The militant group received some "guarantees" from Washington and other mediators that the hostilities would not continue, he told Gaza residents in a televised address on Thursday.

According to al-Hayya, the Gaza-based Palestinian militant group "dealt responsibly with the American president's plan" and submitted a response aimed at preventing further bloodshed. He did not elaborate on the nature of the response but said that the deal, which was reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, includes providing the Palestinian enclave with humanitarian aid, opening the Rafah border crossing, and exchanging prisoners.

"Everyone confirmed that the war has completely ended," the official said, vowing to work with all national and Islamic forces to complete the next steps envisioned by the agreement.
