CAIRO, June 12 — Hamas official Osama Hamdan denied today that the Palestinian group had put forward new ideas for the US-backed proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Hamdan, speaking to the pan-Arab Al-Araby TV, also said that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was “part of the problem, not the solution” in the Gaza conflict.
Earlier, Blinken said that Hamas had suggested numerous changes, some unworkable, to the Gaza ceasefire proposal, though he also said mediators remained determined to close the gaps. — Reuters
