Hamas says it will not respond to Israeli counter-proposal for ceasefire

Hamas decided not to respond or engage with Israel's counter proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, an official told Reuters on Wednesday, affirming it is committed to the mediators' plan instead.

Israel said on 29 March that it conveyed to the mediators a counter-proposal in full coordination with the US, after Hamas agreed to a proposal it received from mediators Egypt and Qatar.
