US Envoy Criticizes Hamas Response to Peace Plan

The US envoy, Witkoff, has voiced strong dissatisfaction with Hamas' feedback on the proposed peace plan for the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the need for Hamas to accept the terms to initiate peace talks promptly.

Hamas' Statement and US Proposal

Hamas has submitted a response to the US proposal, outlining its conditions for a permanent ceasefire, withdrawal from Gaza, and ensuring aid flow to its people.

While Hamas claims a positive inclination towards the proposal, they seek certain modifications before final acceptance, delaying the peace process.

Israeli officials view Hamas' stance as a rejection of the US plan, citing disagreements over the release of prisoners and deceased individuals.

Call for Acceptance and Ceasefire

US envoy Witkoff urges Hamas to accept the proposal as a basis for immediate ceasefire talks, essential for achieving a 60-day ceasefire arrangement and the return of hostages.

Despite differing interpretations and demands, the fate of the Gaza peace negotiations remains uncertain as both parties navigate the delicate path towards a lasting resolution.
