Hamas says it is still discussing US envoy Witkoff's Gaza proposal

Hamas said on Friday it is still discussing US envoy Steve Witkoff's proposal and various other ideas, claiming that it has the aim of reaching a deal to release prisoners, end the war in Gaza, and achieve a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Strip.

Last week, Witkoff presented a "bridge" plan to extend the ceasefire in Gaza into April beyond Ramadan and Passover and allow time to negotiate a permanent cessation of hostilities.
