Hamas asks mediators to present plan based on previous negotations

Hamas said it has asked mediators to offer a plan that is based on previous negotiations instead of starting a new round of talks on a Gaza ceasefire deal, according to Reuters.

In a statement on its official Telegram channel, Hamas said that it wants a plan “based on Biden’s May 31 ceasefire proposal, the framework laid out by mediators Qatar and Egypt on May 6, and UN Security Council Resolution 2735". 

“These have all been met with Israeli rejections and more Israeli massacres. Israel has shown it is not serious about a permanent ceasefire by carrying out crimes against our people,” including its assassination of its leader Ismail Haniyeh, it said.
