Hamas said it submitted a response to the US proposal for a truce in Gaza, but Trump administration envoy Steve Witkoff quickly dismissed it as "totally unacceptable."
"Hamas should accept the framework proposal we put forward," Witkoff said Saturday in a post on X. He added that further talks on a truce "can begin immediately this coming week."
The key differences between the US proposal and Hamas's response appeared to be the duration of any truce and the extent to which Israeli forces withdraw.
