Hamas chief in Gaza Yahya Sinwar reportedly issues a brief response to the latest hostage-truce deal proposal, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“Hamas will not surrender its guns or sign a proposal that asks for that,” the newspaper quotes Sinwar as telling Arab mediators.
Earlier, an Egyptian source told state-linked TV that it had received “positive signs” on the latest deal and was expecting a response in the coming days.
