Official Hamas says he rejects a new US ceasefire plan supported by Israel

Hamas’s high official told the BBC that the Palestinian armed group would reject the US last proposal about the new gas ceasefire and the hostage transaction.

On Thursday, the White House said Israel “subscribed” to the plan of US Messenger Steve Witco and that he was expecting an official response from Hamas.

Israeli media referred to Israeli officials, who said he saw how Hamas reports 10 live hostages and bodies of 18 killed hostages in two stages in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

The Hamas spokesman said the proposal does not satisfy the basic requirements, including the cessation of the war, and that it will react over time.

The Israeli government did not commented on the Israeli, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said on Thursday the hostage families that Vitco’s plan had taken.

On March 18, Israel introduced a complete blockade to gas and restored the military offensive against Hamas after the collapse of a two -month ceasefire called by the United States, Qatar and Egypt.

It states that he wants to put pressure on Hamas to release 58 hostages he still holds at least 20 of which are considered alive.

On May 19, the Israeli military launched an extended offensive, which, according to Netanyahu, to see that the troops “take control of all districts”. The next day he said that Israel would also ease the blockade and allow the “basic” amount of food to prevent hunger.

Almost 4,000 have been killed in Gaza over the last 10 weeks, the Ministry of Health in the field of health.

At a press conference in Washington, on Thursday, White House spokesman Carolina asked if she could confirm the report of the Saudi Al-Arabia TV that Israel and Hamas agreed with the new ceasefire transaction.

“I can confirm that a special messenger Witco and the president filed Hamas in ceasefire that Israel supported and supported. Israel signed the proposal before it was sent to Hamas,” she said.

“I can also confirm that these discussions are ongoing, and we hope that the ceasefire will take place so that we can return all hostages home,” she added.

However, later a senior Hamas official stated that the transaction was contrary to the previous discussions between the group and Witkoff negotiators.

The official said the BBC that the proposal does not include the guarantee that the temporary truce would lead to a permanent ceasefire, as well as the return to the humanitarian protocol, which allowed hundreds of trucks to gas daily in the gas during the last ceasefire.

However, he said Hamas remained in contact with the mediators and would present his written response at one time.

Earlier, the TV with the Israeli channel 12 reported that Netanyahu told the hostage families at the meeting: “We agree to accept the last plan of Vitco, which was handed to us tonight. Hamas has not yet replied. We do not believe that Hamas will release the last hostage, and we will not leave the strip until all the hostages are in our hands.”

Later, his office made a statement accused of one of the journalists of the channel of trying to “smuggle” the recording device to the room where the meeting took place. But it did not deny that he agreed with the US proposal.

Earlier, Netanyahu stated that Israel would end the war only with the release of all hostages, Hamas was either destroyed or disarmed and its leaders were sent to exile.

Hamas said he was ready to return all those who held captive, in exchange for the full end of hostilities and full Israeli pulling out of the gas.
