Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas leader, says some “unacceptable” proposals have been put forward during ceasefire talks in Qatar, Al Jazeera reports.

“We are still negotiating, and ideas that are unacceptable to us are being put forward, and we are also putting forward ideas,” Hamdan told Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency.

No final agreement has been reached, he added.

The release of an American-Israeli captive last week was an initiative by Hamas to accelerate the establishment of a ceasefire, he said.

The Palestinian people will decide who their leaders will be, and the only way to achieve this is through elections, Hamdan added.
