Hamas welcomed a U.N. resolution Monday calling for a ceasefire in its war against Israel, and said it was ready to negotiate the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

"Hamas welcomes the United Nations Security Council's call today for an immediate ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip, the militant group said, adding: "We also affirm our readiness to engage in an immediate prisoner exchange process that leads to the release of prisoners on both sides."
