Israel approved Trump's Gaza truce plan, Hamas rejected it
[GEO.TV] The White House said Thursday that Israel had accepted US President Donald Trump

's proposal for a Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

"I can confirm that special envoy Witkoff and the president submitted a ceasefire proposal to Hamas, that Israel backed and supported. Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

"I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing, and we hope that a ceasefire in Gaza will take place so we can return all of the hostages home," Leavitt told news hounds.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said that there had not yet been a response from Hamas.

"We are unaware of Hamas accepting it, but we do believe that it has some significant promise," Bruce told news hounds.

"So there is some optimism -- some important optimism," Bruce said.

Leavitt declined to confirm reports in Saudi and Israeli media that both sides had reached a 60-day ceasefire agreement and that Trump was poised to make an announcement.

"If there is an announcement to be made, it will come from the White House -- the president, myself, or special envoy Witkoff," Leavitt said.

Israel's ceasefire terms do not address Hamas' key conditions: Group official
[GEO.TV] The Israeli response to the Gaza ceasefire offer presented by US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has failed to meet Hamas' demands, the group's senior official Basim Naim told Reuters on Thursday.

"The Witkoff proposal was still under discussion," he added.
Hamas completely misunderstands its options when the enemy is bouncing the rubble unopposed.

Hamas, Israel agree on 60-day truce in Gaza – Al Arabiya
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Palestinian movement Hamas and Israel have agreed on a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip. According to Al Arabiya TV channel, the ceasefire is for 60 days.

Al Arabiya sources note that US Presidential Special Envoy Steven Witkoff is already aware of the parties' approval of the draft agreement he proposed. It is also claimed that US President Donald Trump is expected to make an official statement on the agreement in the near future.

At the same time, the Quds portal writes that Hamas continues to study Wittkoff's proposal for a semi-exclave, and media reports about the parties reaching an agreement on a truce are not true. Neither side has made official statements about a ceasefire yet.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated in October 2023. On May 18 of this year, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the launch of a large-scale ground operation, Gideon's Chariots, in the northern and southern areas of the Gaza Strip.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 26, Israeli troops carried out an airstrike on a school in Gaza City, killing more than 20 people. On May 24, the Qatari television channel Al Jazeera announced that at least 76 Palestinians had been killed and over 200 wounded in IDF strikes on the semi-exclave in the past 24 hours.

On May 28, Prime Minister of the Jewish state Benjamin Netanyahu announced the liquidation of one of the leaders of the Palestinian movement, Mohammed Sinwar, in the Gaza Strip.
