US rejects suggestion that Hamas has agreed to a Gaza ceasefire proposal


WASHINGTON: The US rejected on Monday (May 26) an assertion by Hamas that the group had accepted a Gaza ceasefire proposal that reportedly involves the liberation of 10 hostages in two batches and a 70-day truce. A Hamas source told AFP that the group had "agreed to the new proposal" by the US, "which the movement received from mediators." The Hamas source said the deal included "a 70-day truce in exchange for the release of 10 hostages in two batches, and during the truce, negotiations would begin on a permanent ceasefire with American guarantees."
