The radical Palestinian movement Hamas has in fact rejected the United States’ proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, while Israel agreed to it, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, APA reports citing TASS.
"While Israel has agreed to the updated [US Special Presidential Envoy Steve] Witkoff’s framework for the release of our hostages, Hamas persists in its refusal," the statement reads.
"As US Presidential Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff has said, Hamas's response is totally unacceptable and is a step backward. The State of Israel will continue its efforts to return our hostages and defeat Hamas," the office added.
