Hamas responds positively to Gaza truce plan, seeks changes

Hamas has welcomed a ceasefire proposal for Gaza put forward by US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, but is requesting modifications, a senior official told Reuters on Saturday.

The official confirmed the group responded “positively” to the initiative, though discussions remain ongoing.

He declined to specify what changes Hamas is demanding in the current version of the proposal.
