IP - Senior Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan has reiterated the group’s stance on a ceasefire, including the withdrawal of Israeli troops in Gaza and the return of Palestinians to their homes.

Iran Press/ West Asia: “It’s clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don’t want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. They are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza,” Hamdan told Al Jazeera.

“We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an “extraordinarily generous” offer.
