A top Hamas official tells AFP the terror group expects a swift Israeli response — “likely today or tomorrow morning” — to its new “ideas” for halting the Gaza war and freeing hostages.

With Israeli negotiators scheduled to arrive in Qatar for talks with mediators, Osama Hamdan says the terror group’s military wing remains “in a good condition that allows it to continue” to fight Israeli forces.
