Hamas has once again condemned the US proposal. It says that America is working under Israeli pressure. Israel has added new conditions to the proposal, which we do not accept. In fact, Hamas wants to discuss the proposal presented by President Joe Biden in May. Osama Hamdan, a Hamas official, said, “There is no doubt that an attempt is being made to sow the seeds of optimism, as was seen after the meeting in Doha, but I do not think it is serious, rather the opposite.”

On the other hand, after the meeting in Doha regarding the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza remained inconclusive, efforts have once again intensified. Regarding this, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Hamas to accept the proposal. Hamas did not participate in the talks in Qatar last week. Therefore, the talks stopped without any result. This time too, there is no impact on Hamas.
The US Secretary of State met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for three hours on Sunday. He said that this is the last chance for the release of the hostages. Netanyahu has also described the talks with Blinken as very positive. The second phase of the ceasefire deal is to be held in Cairo, Egypt this week. For this, the Israeli delegation has left for Egypt.
