Hamas Pushes Back Against US-Proposed Gaza Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Conflict
Hamas has expressed reservations regarding the latest ceasefire proposal presented by the United States, seeking to negotiate amendments to better reflect their demands. The group has reiterated its demand for a permanent end to the war in Gaza and is currently contemplating indirect talks to address outstanding issues. Meanwhile, tensions continue to escalate, with reports of Israeli military strikes resulting in civilian casualties as efforts for a pause in hostilities remain uncertain. Israel has stated that Hamas must accept the US deal or face severe consequences, while the international community, including mediators like Qatar and Egypt, are pushing for a resolution. As Hamas reviews the ceasefire offer, the situation in Gaza remains critical, with warnings about a potential humanitarian crisis looming.
