Hamas chief says terror group did not reject Witkoff proposal but demanded changes
Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya says in a pre-recorded speech that the terror group did not reject US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff’s latest Gaza ceasefire-hostage release proposal, but only demanded some changes and improvements to secure the end of war in the enclave.
The terror group is ready to engage in a new round of ceasefire talks, and the communication with the mediators was ongoing, he adds.
