Egyptian and Qatari mediators are working relentlessly to secure a ceasefire deal as quickly as possible, the source added.
Reports emerged on Monday saying that Hamas and Israel reached an "in principle" agreement on a ceasefire framework following mediation by Qatar.
According to Al Jazeera, the Emir of Qatar met with a Hamas delegation led by Khalil Al-Hayya to review progress in talks to achieve a long-term truce in Gaza.
Sources close to the negotiations said the Qatari-mediated draft proposes a phased approach to ending the 15-month-long war in Gaza.
The framework reportedly includes steps to cease hostilities, facilitate humanitarian aid, and address reconstruction efforts in the war-torn region.
