Hamas rejects Al Arabiya report on ceasefire deal with Israel

A senior ⁤Hamas official has rejected media claims⁣ that the⁢ Palestinian group and Israel have agreed to ⁤a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, according to webangah News Agency.

the official, ​speaking to Al‌ Jazeera, emphasized that Hamas is still ⁣evaluating the proposed truce terms.

Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya-Al Hadath had ⁤earlier reported that Hamas and Israel⁢ reached a deal for a two-month pause in ⁣fighting ‍across Gaza.

Sources close to Al Hadath claimed both sides’ acceptance of⁢ the ceasefire⁤ proposal was relayed to U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. ⁤They‍ anticipated President Donald Trump⁣ would formally announce the agreement​ imminently.

The reports ⁣surfaced as ⁤White house officials stated they lacked confirmation about Hamas accepting any truce proposal.
