Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Proposal, Israel Says

Hamas on Tuesday rejected a ceasefire proposal outlined by President Joe Biden, Israeli officials told media outlets.

Axios and the Times of Israel both reported that Israeli officials told them Hamas rejected the terms of the proposal, which calls for a phased agreement that would see Hamas free Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the eventual permanent end of the conflict.

Reuters reported that mediators Egypt and Qatar received a response from Hamas to the proposal in which the terrorist group proposed a new timeline for a permanent ceasefire with Israel and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, including Rafah.

Asked about the response, a Hamas official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters: "We reiterated our previous stance. I believe there no big gaps. The ball is now in the Israeli courtyard."

The only deal I think Israel should make is the unconditional surrender of hamas and the release of all hostages, those alive and dead.

Sounds to me like this deal is all in favor of Hamas.
No guarantees that the hostilities from Hamas would not resume once IDF withdraw from the region.
No guarantees of the hostages being released should Israel withdraw from Gaza.
I don't like this deal and if Israel goes along with it, it's no wonder they will fall for the confirming of the covenant with death with AC.

The first phase of the deal should have been the release of all the hostages. Then the ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza.
Praying for Israel to stop looking to world leaders for help and look to God for help, Psalm 121.
That day will come when they call on Messiah Jesus.
Sadly Israel will go through a lot first

Just window dressing for the Western masses. Hamas has not changed its fundamental aims one little bit.
