The movement said in a brief statement on its Telegram channel that it had " soon submitted its response and that of the Palestinian factions to the ceasefire proposal to the mediating brothers," without further details.
In this context, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Thursday morning that Tel Aviv had received Hamas's response to the proposed truce in the Gaza Strip and was studying it.
A brief statement issued by Benjamin Netanyahu's office read: "The mediators presented Hamas's response to the Israeli negotiating team, and it is currently under review."
In Washington, the White House announced that the United States is seeking to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, along with the release of detainees, "as soon as possible."
US envoy Steve Witkoff will hold meetings with Middle East officials in Europe to discuss the details of the proposed agreement, amid reports that the meetings will be held in Italy.
In a development on the ground, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the erosion of the occupation army's power in Gaza has become a factor influencing the positions of the political and military leadership, noting that Netanyahu, along with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, are leaning toward ending the war after a ceasefire is reached.
The commission explained that Netanyahu was recently briefed on the situation on the ground, a development security sources described as "unacceptable," especially given the growing desire among Israelis to end military operations.
For the third consecutive week, delegations from Hamas and Israel continue indirect negotiations in Doha with the aim of reaching a ceasefire agreement after 21 months of devastating war that erupted on October 7, 2023 .
