Hamas wants a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire, terms U.S. and Israeli officials have rejected as unacceptable.

A senior Hamas official criticized the United States for treating Israel's demands as the "only response for negotiation," calling it a violation of "the integrity and fairness of mediation" in ceasefire talks.

By Palestine Chronicle Staff Hamas says it accepted a US-mediated ceasefire proposal in principle but accuses Israel of removing all key guarantees, including a full withdrawal and uninterrupted humanitarian aid.

Hamas leaders said they were reviewing a ceasefire deal proposed by the Trump administration that had already received Israel's stamp of approval.

President Donald Trump hinted on Friday that Israel and Hamas are close to another ceasefire, as Israeli ground operations intensify in Gaza. During a Friday Oval Office press conference, Trump said the adversaries were “very close” to another ceasefire, despite Hamas having rejected the last U.S. ceasefire proposal backed by Israel.

The incident happened as Israel and Hamas traded blame for the faltering mediation bid to secure a temporary ceasefire.
