Hamas firmly stands on its latest ceasefire proposal

TEHRAN (defapress) - Hamas refuses to accept any new proposals amid Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about his intention to present a new one regarding a prisoner exchange deal, a senior Palestinian source told one of the Arabic media sources on Saturday.

According to the source, Hamas insists on the latest proposal it submitted to the mediators regarding a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange deal with the Israeli occupation.

The source indicated that the Palestinian Resistance group remains firm in its stance demanding a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, including the Netzarim and the Philadelphi axes.

Hamas has also informed the mediators that it will not accept any new proposal that does not include a clear provision for a ceasefire, the Palestinian source added.

Moreover, the group does not oppose a temporary government administration for Gaza with national consensus in the event of a failure to agree on a national unity government, the source mentioned.

This comes after some sources said that "Israel" seeks to introduce amendments that would complicate reaching a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange deal.
