CAIRO/TEL AVIV, July 4 (Reuters) - Hamas has submitted its response to a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire proposal, a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations told Reuters on Friday, describing the response as a positive one that should "facilitate reaching a deal."

"We have handed the mediators, Qatar and Egypt, our response to the ceasefire proposal," a Hamas official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
"The Hamas response is positive and I think it should help and facilitate reaching a deal," said the Palestinian official close to the talks.
Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed "to the necessary conditions to finalize" a 60-day ceasefire, during which efforts would be made to end the U.S. ally's war in the Palestinian enclave.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to comment on Trump's announcement and in their public statements, the two sides remain far apart. Netanyahu has repeatedly said Hamas must be disarmed, a position the militant group, which is thought to be holding 20 living hostages, has so far refused to discuss.

Obviously they need to re-arm.
So why is a Palestinian official commenting for Hamas? Oh wait...Palestine is Hamas...Hamas is Palestine.
Hamas is always going to re-arm..90 percent of Gaza IS Hamas, so it will never end
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR HAMAS TO PROVE HOE THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
A LURE?
Hamas is always going to re-arm..90 percent of Gaza IS Hamas, so it will never end”
Yep, there is only one way total elimination of Hamas and a one state solution. The two sate fairy tale is endless death and destruction.
Maybe Hamas lost some UNRWA money and is low on funds?
Israel could be in Gaza for another few yrs and it would change nothing..Hamas is an ideology, 90 percent of Gazans want Israel wiped off the map. You had Gazans who with the help of those in those Kibbutz’s come to Israel for medical treatment, and what did those same Gazans do on Oct 7th, they came to those Kibbutz’s and killed those same people who gave them help..you cant negotiate with that, PERIOD, that is who they are, that is in their DNA
They’re going to have a hard time doing that with their main supplier rather busy with reconstruction right now (Iran).
I keep saying the ‘peaceful’ solution to Gaza is to ship all ‘Palestinians’ back to their masters in Iran and be done with it.
In june alone 20 IDF soldiers were killed in Gaza, my brother’s nephew is right now in Gaza, he is one of those who looks for IED’s. He was off the hook til now but he had to go in yesterday
I am very skeptical. The pattern is tht they “agree”, but then raise some other [unacceptable] conditions
The Hamas types don’t feel so good about being considered for the remake of I Want To Live. (spoiler: Susan Hayward dies under the death penalty. 1958 movie)
keeping the terrorist infestations alive and well is a major Snake Department (Nazi nest for decades!) goal and always has been
through
weapons that go to Hexballah
arming and training 60,000 Fatah-PLO=PA=Abbas men
provisioning and defending Hamas and allowing Egypt to reinforce its blockade of any Fakestinian “civilians” wishing or needing to leave, keeping them in the Hamas prison colony
and gifting billions of dollars of weapons to the Afghani terrorists
we pray each day that President Trump can clean out the Snake Dept evil
Bibi should have cleaned house in October, 2023.
Reality Check
They're Muslims through and through...
Their Cry..."Kill All the Christians and Jews".....
agree fully!
