Hamas says Biden ceasefire proposal ‘just words’

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan on Thursday said that US President Joe Biden’s proposed Gaza ceasefire deal was “just words” and that Hamas had not received any written commitments related to a truce.
“So far, the Americans have not presented anything documented or written that commits them to what Biden said in his speech,” Hamdan told AFP reporters in Beirut.
He also said that Biden “tried to cover up the Israeli rejection” of another deal offered earlier in May, which had been approved by Hamas.
Last week, Biden presented what he labelled an Israeli "three-phase plan" that would end the war, free all hostages and lead to the reconstruction of Gaza without Hamas in power.
