The Hamas terrorists did not accept the new proposals from the mediators and made it clear that they did not want to conclude a deal under the conditions described earlier.
Israeli media reported this.
According to information published by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, Hamas made its position clear to the mediators, rejecting the proposal for a ceasefire deal in Gaza and the release of hostages.
Hamas’s final response was initially expected to be provided on Thursday, May 2. However, instead, the terrorists asked Egypt and Qatar for additional time to think. This move necessitated additional contacts over the next two days to avoid a breakdown in negotiations.
In light of recent events, the Hamas delegation plans to return to Cairo with proposals for “necessary amendments,” and the mediators hope to continue the dialogue and find a compromise solution.
Al-Akhbar also reports that Israel has agreed to wait before launching an operation in Rafah until it receives a “final” answer.
