The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has said it has received and was studying the latest Israeli counter-proposal regarding a potential ceasefire in besieged Gaza and the release of captives, TRT World reports.

“Today, the Hamas movement received the official Zionist occupation response to the movement’s position, which was delivered to the Egyptian and Qatari mediators on April 13,” Khalil al Hayya, deputy head of Hamas’s political arm in Gaza, said in a brief statement.

“The movement will study this proposal, and upon completion of its study, it will submit its response.”
