Report says Hamas satisfied with assurances to end Gaza war included in truce proposal

Citing a knowledgeable source, the Saudi news outlet Asharq reports that Hamas is satisfied with the guarantees to end the Gaza war included in the ceasefire proposal it received.

According to the report, the proposal contains assurances from the mediators that both sides will not resume fighting as long as negotiations are ongoing. Additionally, it says US President Donald Trump is expected to announce the agreement once both parties have approved it and will serve as the clear sponsor for its implementation.

However, another source close to Hamas tells the outlet that the new proposal presented to the group does not contain any substantial changes from the one submitted by US mediator Steve Witkoff, only includes minor modifications.

According to Asharq, Hamas is expected to deliver its response to the proposed framework on Friday.
