Hamas source says counteroffer includes clause preventing resumption of fighting even if no deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior Hamas source told Reuters on Thursday that there was still a chance of reaching a Gaza ceasefire agreement but it would take a few days because of what he called Israeli stalling.
The source said Hamas’s response to the latest ceasefire proposal included requesting a clause that would prevent Israel from resuming the war if an agreement was not reached by the end of the 60-day truce period.
The source also says Hamas proposed a new mechanism for releasing hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and claims the issue has not been discussed at all so far.
