Two Hamas officials have told AFP that the group’s discussions on an Israeli truce proposal were nearly complete, with a response expected soon.
“These talks are almost complete, and the group will send its response to the mediators once they finish. It’s expected the talks will wrap up soon — possibly even today,” an official said, with another member of the group confirming his account.
Israel communicated its latest proposal for a ceasefire to Hamas via Egyptian and Qatari mediators earlier this week, but statements from officials on both sides regarding the continuing presence of Israeli troops in Gaza have left little hope that a deal could be reached.
