Hamas said it has not rejected a ceasefire proposal presented by U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, a senior Hamas official told Reuters on Saturday.
"We agreed with Mr. Witkov last week on a proposal that he considered acceptable as a proposal for negotiation. We received the other party's response, which did not agree with any of the items we agreed upon and did not meet the minimum requirements of our people," senior Hamas member Basem Naim said in a statement.
Naim said Israel's response to Witkoff's proposal was incompatible with what the group agreed on, adding that the U.S. envoy's position towards the group was "unfair" and showed "complete bias" towards Israel.
