Israel had proposed a 45-day ceasefire in Gaza as it could allow the release of hostages and launch indirect talks to end the war.
The Hamasterolist group has rejected Israel’s latest peace proposal.
In a speech aired Thursday, Haril Al Hayya, leader of Hamas’ negotiation team, said he disagreed with a more partial deal with Israel, and instead demanded an inclusive thing to end the war and trade Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
Israel was seeking the release of 10 living hostages in exchange for a 45-day ceasefire, according to the Israeli era. Israel has also offered to free 1,231 Palestinian security prisoners and resume humanitarian invasions into Gaza, according to the outlet.
The terrorist group still owns 59 Israeli people, with up to 24 people being believed to be alive.
Israel is seeking the return of the bodies of the dead hostages.
Hamas has already rejected one of Israel’s conditions. In his speech, Haiya accused Israel of offering mutual proposals that had “impossible circumstances.”
