Hamas Submits Ceasefire Proposal Demanding Complete End to Israel’s Attacks

HeadlineJun 02, 2025

Negotiations continue over a possible ceasefire. Over the weekend, Hamas submitted its response to a proposal by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. Hamas is offering to release 10 living hostages and 18 bodies in return for Israel’s release of Palestinian prisoners. Hamas is also seeking a complete end to Israel’s attacks and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, but Witkoff has called Hamas’s response “totally unacceptable.”
