Hamas says Blinken's Gaza proposal ‘not what we agreed on’

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan criticised US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accepted an updated proposal, Reuters reported.

Hamdan said that Netanyahu accepting the proposal "raises many ambiguities" because it is "not what was presented to us nor what we agreed on".

He told Reuters that the group had already confirmed to mediators that "we don't need new Gaza ceasefire negotiations, we need to agree on an implementation mechanism."
