Qatari and Egyptian mediators have not received formal responses from Hamas or Israel over a UN-backed ceasefire proposal, an official briefed on the talks tells Reuters.
“Talks are ongoing between mediators and Israel and Hamas in coordination with the United States,” the official says.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to the proposal, and urged Hamas to do the same, saying “everyone’s vote is in, except for one vote, and that’s Hamas.”
