Hamas says US truce proposal means ‘continuation of killing’ in Gaza
- On Thursday, the White House confirmed that Israel has agreed to a new ceasefire plan put forward by the United States to pause hostilities with Hamas.
- The proposal followed months of intense conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, which killed about 1,200 people and caused mass hostage-taking.
- The ceasefire offer includes a 60-day truce, phased hostage release, and humanitarian aid flow, but Hamas demands stronger guarantees such as a full Israeli withdrawal and permanent ceasefire.
- Hamas described the Israeli-backed proposal as biased and insufficient, stating it does not meet their demands for ending the war and lifting the blockade, according to Hamas officials.
- The ceasefire outcome remains uncertain as talks continue amid a devastated Gaza, ongoing military operations, and political constraints faced by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
