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.
