GAZA STRIP, Feb 7 — Palestinian militant group Hamas said yesterday it handed its response on a truce deal aimed at halting the war with Israel to key mediators.
“A short while ago, the Hamas movement delivered its response to the framework agreement to the brothers in Qatar and Egypt,” a statement said, referring to “a comprehensive and full ceasefire”.
The militant group has for more than a week mulled the deal drawn up in its absence at Paris talks, as international pressure mounts to end the four-month war.
Hamas said the proposal was aimed at “ending the aggression against our people, securing relief and shelter, reconstruction, lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, and completing the process of a prisoner exchange”.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said Doha had received a “positive” response from Hamas to the truce plans.
The premier was speaking alongside US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has embarked on another crisis tour of the Middle East.
Blinken said the Hamas response has already “been shared with the Israelis”.

“I’ll pick up that conversation tomorrow in Israel when I’m there, and we will be working as hard as we possibly can to try to get an agreement,” Blinken told reporters in Doha.
The Gaza war erupted on October 7 with an attack by Hamas which resulted in the deaths of about 1,160 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
Gunmen from Gaza also seized around 250 hostages. Israel says 132 remain in Gaza including 28 who are believed to have been killed.
Israel’s withering military campaign has killed at least 27,585 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. — AFP
