Hamas said it has submitted a response to the latest ceasefire proposal by U.S. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff to mediators on Saturday, reiterating its key demands.
Hamas said objective of the talks would be to end "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza, ensure delivery of relief aid to Palestinian people, and achieve a permanent ceasefire.
The incident happened as Israel and Hamas traded blame for the faltering mediation bid to secure a temporary ceasefire.
