US envoy denies that Hamas has accepted his hostage deal proposal; Palestinian official claims he walked back previous understandings; Israeli official blames intermediary Bahbah The post Witkoff: Israel prepared to accept temporary ceasefire;

There has been no official confirmation from the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office about the supposed proposal or Hamas’s reported acceptance.

The US has been talking with Hamas through an American intermediary in Doha this week in hopes of brokering an Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to a source familiar with the matter, as US officials say President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s handling of the conflict.
