Hamas said he had submitted an answer to the US proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, but Trump’s administration sent by Steve Witkoff quickly rejected him as “completely unacceptable”.
“Hamas should accept the proposal of the framework we submitted,” Witkoff said on Saturday in the X post. He added that other interviews about the ceasefire “They can start this next week.”
The key differences between the US proposal and the reaction of Hamas seemed to be the duration of any ceasefire and the extent in which Israel’s power would resign.
Hamas responded earlier during the day on the US proposal with changes to “achieve a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and ensured the flow of help our people and our families in the zone”.
Within the Hamas agreement, he stated in his statement that he would issue 10 living Israeli prisoners according to the statement and return 18 authorities in exchange for the agreed number of Palestinian prisoners. The group did not specify whether it accepts or refuses the proposal.
Israel previously accepted the American design of the Gaza Gaza, which Witkoff said on social media, included a 60 -day ceasefire and the release of half of the live hostages and half of the dead. Israeli officials familiar with this matter stated that the proposal would also restore the distribution of assistance led by the UN to Palestinian territory.
Hamas, which is marked by the US terrorist organization, the European Union and many other countries, is looking for changes in some points, including the timing of the release of hostages, providing assistance and withdrawal of Israeli forces, the Associated Press reported and quoted an unidentified clerk.
The former ceasefire ended in mid -March and interviews about the new ceasefire stopped because Hamas insisted on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, while the Israeli government wants the group to disarm and dissolve.
The international pressure to stop the lengthy war has grown as the humanitarian crisis deteriorated in Gaza. The auxiliary agencies claim that more than 2 million civilians in the destroyed coast enclave have brought the 11 -week blockade of Israel to the brink of famine. While food supplies continued under the auspices of the non -profit humanitarian foundation based in Swiss Swiss, the introduction was persecuted by a delay and chaos.
Although it is not clear whether Israel will accept any new conditions or changes in the US proposal, at least some members of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed optimism over the prospect of a ceasefire.
Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen, a member of the Netanyahuah Security Cabinet, spoke with the 12 TV channel on Saturday after the news of Hamas, said, “I will judge that time is not on the side of Hamas and will eventually agree to the Witkoff proposal.”
