Hamas has expressed strong reservations about a U.S.-brokered ceasefire proposal, stating that it would lead to the "continuation of killing and famine" in Gaza. The plan, which includes a 60-day truce, the release of Israeli hostages, and a prisoner swap, has been accepted by Israel and presented to Hamas by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. However, Hamas officials argue that the proposal lacks commitments to end the war, withdraw Israeli troops, or ensure unrestricted humanitarian aid. They are currently reviewing the proposal but have indicated that it does not meet their core demands. (PC: Reuters)
