Hamas officials reject ‘new conditions’ in proposed Gaza deal
Hamas will not accept “new conditions” from Israel in a proposal put forward during talks in Doha aimed at sealing a ceasefire and hostage release in the Gaza war, officials tell AFP.
Israel’s “new” conditions include keeping troops inside Gaza along its border with Egypt, an informed source says, while Hamas demands “a complete ceasefire, a complete withdrawal from the Strip, a normal return of the displaced and a [hostage] deal” without restrictions, the source says.
