Hamas says it delivered ‘positive response’ on US Gaza ceasefire plan | BBC News

Hamas says it has delivered a "positive response" to mediators on the latest proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal put forward by the US.

The Palestinian armed group said on Friday night that it was "seriously ready to enter immediately into a round of negotiations", but it did not confirm whether it accepted the terms.

A senior Palestinian official told the BBC that Hamas had requested several changes, including a halt to a US-backed aid system and a US guarantee that the war would not resume if talks on ending the war failed.

Israel's government has not commented. US President Donald Trump said he had not been briefed but that it was "good" Hamas had responded positively.
