Hamas says US proposal does not include withdrawal from Gaza

Saudi Arabia's Al-Sharq al Awsat reported that the US proposal for a Gaza ceasefire did not include the Israeli army's withdrawal from Gaza and commitment to a future ceasefire. 

A Hamas source told the Saudi outlet that the proposal "completely contradicts the document agreed on July 2" and said the Palestinian group was still waiting for the results of its meetings in Doha and Cairo. 

The proposal for the Israeli army to reduce its presence in the Philadelphi route without a complete withdrawal of forces and discussions on a permanent ceasefire will take place in the second phase of the deal, and Israel will be able to resume fighting if the parties do not reach an agreement.
