Gaza ceasefire plan in balance as US says Hamas proposed 'changes'
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has addressed the proposed changes made by Hamas to a plan for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. He expressed that while some of the changes were 'workable', others were not. Despite this, the US, along with mediators Qatar and Egypt, are committed to trying to close the deal. Hamas expressed its readiness to 'deal positively' with the process but stressed the importance of Israel agreeing to a permanent ceasefire and full withdrawal from Gaza. The Israeli government did not provide a comment, but an anonymous official stated that the response from Hamas was a rejection. The UN Security Council passed a resolution in support of the proposal, adding to the diplomatic pressure exerted by Washington. US President Joe Biden mentioned that the proposal had been offered by the country when he outlined it 12 days ago. Furthermore, Mr. Blinken stated that Benjamin Netanyahu had 'reaffirmed his commitment' during a meeting in Jerusalem on Monday.
