Hamas “must understand that it has to accept the Witkoff outline,” a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel, referring to the latest hostage release/ceasefire proposal offered by US special envoy Steve Witkoff.
“Now the IDF is attacking, supplies are distributed differently, the US is pressing,” says the official, “and we will be prepared for negotiations when Hamas comes to terms with reality.”
