Hamas' position on ceasefire proposal is 'less than encouraging' so far: White House

The White House considered Tuesday that Hamas' position so far regarding a proposal including a ceasefire in Gaza and an exchange of hostages and detainees is "less than encouraging."

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated, "We've seen the public statements from Hamas that have been, shall we say, less than encouraging," but he clarified that the Qatari mediator in the Cairo negotiations has not yet received a final response from the Palestinian movement.
