US working on Hamas response to ceasefire proposal
THE United States said today that some of the proposed changes put forward by Hamas to a US-backed ceasefire plan were “workable” and some were not.
This comes after a massive barrage of rockets were fired into Israel by Lebanon’s Hezbollah group.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not spell out what the changes were. Speaking to reporters in Qatar, Mr Blinken said the US and other mediators will keep trying to “close this deal.”
