Hamas official claims terror group rejects latest deal, others say group still studying proposal

The Hamas terrorist organization has rejected the latest Israeli ceasefire proposal suggested at talks in Cairo, senior official Ali Baraka tells Reuters on Monday.

A Hamas official had earlier told Reuters that no progress had been made in the negotiations.

A second, unnamed, Hamas official tells AFP however, that the group is still studying the details of the proposal.

The first phase of the proposal would also see the return of displaced Palestinian civilians to the north of the Gaza Strip, and 400 to 500 trucks of food aid a day delivered to its starving people, according to the source, who is close to the negotiations.
