Hamas announced on Saturday that it has responded to the ceasefire proposal that was issued by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
“Following a round of national consultations, and out of our responsibility to our people and their suffering, Hamas today submitted to the mediators its response to the latest proposal by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, in a manner that will lead to a permanent ceasefire, a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and ensuring the flow of aid to our people in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement.
“As part of this agreement, ten live Israeli hostages, held by the resistance, will be released, in addition to the return of eighteen bodies, in exchange for an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners,” the statement concluded.
The original Witkoff proposal did not include a full IDF withdrawal or a permanent ceasefire, meaning the response doesn’t answer positively to the terms, and Hamas added terms of its own.
