No surprise there
Hamas official says it rejects new US Gaza ceasefire plan backed by Israel

A senior Hamas official has told the BBC the Palestinian armed group will reject the latest US proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.
The White House said on Thursday that Israel had "signed off" on US envoy Steve Witkoff's plan and that it was waiting for a formal response from Hamas.
Israeli media cited Israeli officials as saying it would see Hamas hand over 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 dead hostages in two phases in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Hamas official said the proposal did not satisfy core demands, including an end to the war, and that it would respond in due course.
The details of the new proposal have not been made public, but senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters that, crucially, it did not contain commitments from Israel to end its war on Gaza, withdraw Israeli troops from the enclave, or allow aid to freely enter the war-torn territory.
The Israeli government has not commented, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told hostages' families on Thursday that he accepted Witkoff's plan.
The BBC might be jumping the gun here, but 99% sure it's still the same 60 day 'ceasefire' proposal (which just means Israel can keep on doing what it does like in Lebanon while still restricting aid as during the previous ceasefire) without any guarantees to end the war.
Same spiel as with Biden and Blinken, change the language a bit, same nonsense.
