The two Middle Eastern countries have been mediating months of negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
The announcement came hours after Israel ordered Palestinians to begin evacuating the town of Rafah in southern Gaza ahead of an Israeli military operation.
Israel says Rafah is Hamas’ last stronghold.
News of the Hamas announcement sent people in Rafah cheering into the streets.
Details of the proposal were not immediately released, but in recent days Egyptian and Hamas officials have said the ceasefire would take place in periods when Hamas would release hostages it is holding in exchange for Israeli troops in withdraw from Gaza.
It is unclear whether the deal will meet Hamas’s key demand for an end to the war and a complete Israeli withdrawal.
