Israel still mulling response to Hamas positive response on ceasefire proposal

Israel said Saturday it was still mulling its response to a positive reaction from Hamas to the latest US-sponsored proposal for a Gaza ceasefire.

"No decision has been made yet on that issue," a government official told AFP on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to speak publicly about it.

Israel's security cabinet was due to meet later on Saturday, after the end of the Jewish sabbath at sundown, Israeli media reported.
