Hamas has rejected the latest proposal put forward by international mediators for a cease-fire and hostage release.
An aircraft airdrops humanitarian aid over the northern Gaza Strip, as seen from central Gaza, Monday, March 25, 2024. – Hamas has rejected the latest proposal put forward by international mediators for a cease-fire and hostage release, and Israel has blasted a U.N. Security Council resolution that called for both without linking them.
On Monday, the Security Council finally managed to pass a resolution calling for a cease-fire as the United States abstained instead of vetoing the measure, angering Israel inbetween the two close allies. The resolution calls for the release of all hostages held in Gaza but does not condition the cease-fire on it.
The United States, Qatar and Egypt have spent several weeks trying to negotiate another cease-fire and hostage release, but those efforts appeared to have stalled. Hamas said in a statement late Monday that it has informed the mediators it will stick to an earlier position.
