JERUSALEM, Jul 4 (NNN-MA’AN) – Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, has received Hamas’ response to a proposed deal, aimed at securing a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, and the release of hostages, according to a statement released yesterday, by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, on behalf of Mossad.
The response, transferred by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, with the backing of the United States, is currently under review by Israel. “Israel is examining the response and will communicate its reply to the mediators in due course,” the statement noted.
This development marks a renewed effort to negotiate an end to the nearly nine-month-long conflict, which, according to the Gaza-based health authorities, has resulted in the deaths of more than 37,900 Palestinians in the strip.– NNN-MA’AN
