GAZA, July 4 (Xinhua) — Hamas officially announced on Friday that it will submit its final decision on the Gaza ceasefire proposal to mediators after consultations are completed.
The movement said it was interested in ending Israeli aggression against its people and ensuring free access for humanitarian aid, and accordingly, consultations were underway with the leaders of the Palestinian forces and factions regarding the proposal received from the mediators.
Hamas and Israel have held several rounds of indirect talks in recent months, but no final ceasefire agreement has been reached. In previous talks, Hamas demanded a complete end to the war, while Israel insisted on a temporary truce.
Israel resumed military operations in the Gaza Strip on March 18. Since then, at least 6,572 Palestinians have been killed and another 23,132 wounded. The total number of deaths since October 2023 has reached 57,130, with 135,173 injured, the enclave’s medical authorities said on Thursday. –0–
