The Hamas said on Thursday that "it examines the new proposal from Witkoff" and "analyzed responsibly in order to maintain the interests of our people, to enable humanitarian aid and to achieve permanent ceasefire."

The Israeli official announced that the proposal provides for the release of 10 living and 18 deceased hostages, as well as a 60-day ceasefire. Details about the beginning of the negotiations for a permanent peace, a central concern of Hamas, remained unclear, since Israel has so far rejected this.
