White House envoy Steve Witkoff told Axios on Monday he is “disappointed” that Hamas has so far failed to accept his proposal for a new Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.
Witkoff said Monday that Hamas was given no new proposal, despite their claims. He added that Israel will agree to his latest proposal for a temporary ceasefire and hostage deal. Witkoff said the proposal Israel agreed to would “lead to substantive negotiations to find a path to a permanent ceasefire, which I agreed to preside over.” “That deal is on the table. Hamas should take it,” he said.
I’m disappointed that Hamas accepted my deal, since there was no deal.
That deal is on the table. Hamas should take it.
Hamas: “What do you want me to do?!?”
“Stop resisting!”
