Hamas Rejects Israel's Latest Ceasefire Proposal Over War-Ending Demands

Talks remain stalled as Hamas insists on a full Israeli withdrawal and comprehensive agreement, rejecting partial ceasefire offers.

Overview

  • Hamas has formally rejected Israel's proposal for a 45-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of 10 hostages, citing the absence of provisions to end the war.
  • The group demands a comprehensive deal that includes the release of all hostages, a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and long-term rebuilding commitments.
  • Israeli sources report that Hamas currently holds 24 living hostages and 35 bodies of deceased captives in Gaza.
  • Negotiations have been deadlocked since early March, when the second phase of a previous truce agreement collapsed over unresolved terms.
  • The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with aid organizations warning of severe shortages and widespread displacement exacerbated by the ongoing blockade and conflict.
