The Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced on Saturday that Hamas continues to reject US envoy Steve Witkoff's proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The Prime Minister's Office said in an official statement that "Hamas' response to Witkoff's proposal is unacceptable," referring to the movement's position on the proposed initiative to reach a ceasefire that includes a prisoner exchange and a cessation of military operations.
Over the past few days, the US envoy has held a series of meetings and consultations with officials in the region to advance efforts to broker a truce. US assurances that the proposal enjoys broad international support, while Hamas insists on conditions related to the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and ensuring reconstruction.
