Senior Hamas Official: We Reject the New US Ceasefire Proposal
The BBC reported Friday that Hamas is expected to reject the latest ceasefire and hostage-release proposal based on U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's plan, according to a senior Hamas official.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on Friday morning, citing a senior Hamas official, that the terror organization is expected to reject the new ceasefire and hostage-release proposal based on U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's framework.
According to the official, the framework fails to address Hamas' core demands – namely, a commitment to turn the temporary ceasefire into a permanent one, and a protocol that would allow an increase in the flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. The official added that Hamas is still in contact with the mediators and will issue an official response soon.
