Israeli Prime Minister's Office Refutes Claims of Hamas Agreement on Gaza Ceasefire

 

In a recent development, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports that Hamas has agreed to a ceasefire proposal mediated by Qatar. Contrary to earlier claims by an Israeli official, the Prime Minister's office stated that Hamas has not yet responded to the deal.

The proposal, which aims to halt the ongoing conflict in Gaza, was reportedly set to be formally announced on Thursday, with the first phase of the agreement commencing on Sunday. However, the Prime Minister's office clarified that no official communication has been received from Hamas regarding their acceptance of the terms.

This denial comes amidst ongoing negotiations and efforts by international mediators to broker a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The situation remains fluid, with both sides yet to reach a final agreement.
