Israel is currently waiting for Hamas’s official response to US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza, The Prime Minister’s Office tells The Times of Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted the outline earlier this week in Washington.
“We don’t have an assessment regarding what their answer will be,” says the PMO.
A senior Hamas official tells the Saudi Asharq channel that the terror group has told mediators that it needs more time for internal deliberations on Trump’s plan.
In the meantime, says the PMO, the military operation in Gaza is moving ahead: “Israel hasn’t left Gaza and is continuing with its plans.”
