A senior Hamas official said it would 'most likely' respond to Israel's ceasefire proposal it received through intermediaries within 48 hours.
In an interview with reporters, the official mentioned the time frame for sending feedback to the above-mentioned intermediaries because Hamas is still conducting in-depth consultations within the leadership, as well as consulting with resistance factions to build a unified stance.
On April 14, through Egyptian mediation, Israel presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas, in which Israel called on Hamas to release 10 hostages in exchange for 120 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences. Tel Aviv's proposal also outlined a framework for a permanent ceasefire and the disarmament of Hamas.
* In a related development on April 15, French President Emmanuel Macron said he had a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The French leader called for an “end” to the current suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip, saying that only a ceasefire in Gaza could free the remaining Israeli hostages. He also called for “all humanitarian aid crossings” into the besieged Palestinian strip of land. He also expressed hope that after the ceasefire, the release of all hostages and humanitarian aid would revive the prospect of a political solution with two states of Israel and Palestine coexisting.
