According to Al-Mayadeen, Reuters news agency quoted a Hamas official as saying that the movement had received Israel’s response to the proposal by Steve Whittaker, the US special envoy for the Middle East.
The Hamas official stressed: “Israel’s response to Whittaker’s proposal does not meet any of the just and legitimate demands of the Palestinian people. It is clear that Israel’s response is primarily aimed at consolidating the occupation.”
He added: “Despite all these circumstances, the Hamas leadership is comprehensively examining the new proposal on the ceasefire in Gaza.”
