Hamas official says Israel’s response to US truce proposal fails to meet terror group’s ‘legitimate demands’

Hamas has received Israel’s response to a US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal and is thoroughly reviewing it, even though the response fails to meet any of the Palestinian “just and legitimate demands,” senior Hamas official Basem Naim tells Reuters.

Naim’s comments appear to contradict a BBC report earlier today, which cited an unnamed Hamas official as saying that the terror group would reject the US proposal, as it doesn’t meet key demands.
