Hamas has not yet given a written response to a Gaza ceasefire-hostage deal proposal under negotiation in Qatar, an official from the group, who refused to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue, tells Reuters.

Earlier today, the Prime Minister’s Office said that “contrary to reports” the terror group had yet to provide negotiators with a final response.
