Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh announced that the group is ready for a comprehensive deal based on President Biden’s Gaza ceasefire proposal. This includes a ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction efforts, and a prisoner swap. Egypt and Qatar confirmed receiving a response from Palestinian groups, though Israel claims Hamas rejected key parts of the plan. Haniyeh stated that the requested changes are minor. Biden's "three-phase" proposal, presented on May 31, aims to establish a permanent ceasefire and phased prisoner exchanges. Mediation efforts continue between the involved parties.
