Hamas Statement: “We Are Discussing the Proposal, and We Will Provide an Official Response to the Mediators”

Ongoing Consultations

In a recent official statement, Hamas announced that it is currently deliberating on a proposal received through mediators and is conducting consultations with the organization’s leadership as well as other Palestinian factions. “After the consultations conclude, we will communicate our final decision and announce it officially,” the statement read.

Reports of Positivity

Last night, the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa Channel reported that the organization had responded positively to a ceasefire proposal. However, no official confirmation has been received from additional sources at this time. The details of Hamas’s response were not specified in the official statement.

Cabinet Meeting and Progress in Negotiations

In light of these developments, the Israeli cabinet convened for a meeting. Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported significant progress in negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement that would entail a 60-day ceasefire. Sources within Hamas indicated that the group is nearing consensus on the latest proposal and has begun informing stakeholders of its intention to respond positively.

start source told Asharq Al-Awsat that some aspects of the agreement are currently in the final stages. These details are reported to be similar to those included in an earlier agreement formulated in January. The source emphasized that “all the indications we have are positive,” suggesting that Hamas is closer than ever to a new agreement, being in a “pre-announcement phase.”

U.S. Commitment to Ongoing Negotiations

Additionally, the emerging guarantees from President Trump regarding the negotiations were highlighted in last night’s central edition. Trump is expected to commit to ensuring that negotiations regarding the terms for ending the war will continue even after a temporary ceasefire. He has pledged to do everything in his power to assist both sides in agreeing on the terms of a permanent ceasefire. This assurance signals to Hamas that the proposed Wintkoff framework could pave the way toward concluding the conflict.

Possible Future Developments

Israeli officials indicated to News 12 that based on the signals from Hamas, there is a high probability that proximity talks will commence in the coming days. If an agreement is reached regarding these conversations, the path to a deal could be established.

The situation remains fluid, and further updates are anticipated as discussions progress
