White House: Still waiting for Hamas response to ceasefire proposal
7 June 2024 21:27 BST
The White House said on Friday that it was still waiting for an official response from Hamas to the latest ceasefire proposal for the war on Gaza.
The issue is scheduled to be discussed during a meeting between Biden and French President Macron on Saturday.
Last week, Biden presented what he labelled an Israeli "three-phase plan" that would end the war, free all captives and lead to the reconstruction of Gaza without Hamas in power.
Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said on Thursday that the proposed ceasefire deal was “just words” and that Hamas had not received any written commitments related to a truce.
