Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri tells Al Jazeera that the ceasefire proposal presented to the group does not meet its demands.

Abu Zuhri said Hamas would not accept a temporary truce in exchange for the release of Israeli captives in Gaza because Israel would then resume its bombing campaign.

Israel’s Mossad spy chief and the CIA director this week attended talks in Qatar’s capital — the first high-level talks since ceasefire efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza broke down in August.
