Hamas has expressed firm opposition to a new ceasefire plan proposed by the US and backed by Israel, arguing it does not fulfill crucial demands, particularly stopping the ongoing war and blockade. Officials from Hamas criticized the proposal, suggesting it mainly serves Israeli interests without guaranteeing military withdrawal or humanitarian aid. The plan outlines a 60-day ceasefire and intricate negotiation for prisoner exchanges, but aid distribution depends on Hamas's acceptance, calling into question the proposal's efficacy in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Hamas stated that the new ceasefire proposal, while under consideration, does not address essential demands such as ending the conflict and lifting the blockade.
Bassem Naim emphasized that the plan merely perpetuates occupation and failing to address the humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian people.
Sami Abu Zuhri noted that the terms of the ceasefire reflect only Israeli interests and lack any commitment to halt military actions or the blockade.
The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire and a complex exchange arrangement for hostages, but aid will only flow if Hamas agrees to the terms.
