Hamas says it is weighing Witkoff proposal with other Palestinian factions

Hamas said on Friday it was mulling a phased ceasefire proposal sent by US envoy Steve Witkoff with other Palestinian factions. 

Hamas has demanded a permanent end to Israel's war on Gaza in return for releasing captives, but according to reports, the US proposal does not guarantee a permanent end to fighting. 

A January ceasefire backed by the US collapsed in March after Israel unilaterally resumed attacking Gaza.
