Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh talked with Turkey, Qatar and Egypt before the group issued a response to a ceasefire proposal, Hamas said in a statement.
Israel said it received a Hamas proposal on Wednesday evening. The group claimed that it had “exchanged some ideas” with mediating parties in order to stop “aggression against our people”, but didn’t say it submitted an official response.
Hamas said its efforts were conducted with a “positive spirit” to advance the talks.
