Hamas is currently considering a new US ceasefire proposal but appears likely to reject it due to dissatisfaction with its conditions, particularly concerning the ongoing conflict in Gaza. A Hamas official indicated that the offer heavily favors Israeli demands and falls short of ending the war or providing necessary humanitarian access. While the proposal includes a 60-day pause in fighting and stipulates a hostage exchange, including a significant release of Palestinian prisoners, its acceptance is uncertain. Senior Hamas leaders emphasize the need for an agreement that truly addresses their demands to halt hostilities and allow humanitarian aid.
