According to Hamas, Israel has responded to their call for a truce

CAIRO: According to a statement by the group’s deputy Gaza commander, Hamas said that it had received Israel’s formal answer to its most recent truce offering on Saturday and will review it before responding.
Khalil Al-Hayya, now headquartered in Qatar, said in a statement released by the organization, “Hamas has received today the official response of the Zionist occupation to the proposal presented to the Egyptian and the Qatari mediators on April 13.”

The talks are still at a standstill after more than six months of fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with Hamas maintaining that any deal must put an end to the conflict.
An individual informed of the conversations claimed that an Egyptian team traveled to Israel on Friday to have discussions with Israeli authorities about finding a means of resuming negotiations to resolve the crisis and release the hostages who were captured when Hamas gunmen broke into Israeli cities on October 7.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said that although Israel was prepared to contemplate a limited ceasefire in which Hamas would free 33 captives instead of the 40 originally under consideration, it had no fresh ideas to make.
In an effort to resolve the situation, the US and 17 other nations made a plea to Hamas on Thursday to free all of its captives.
Although Hamas said in a statement on Friday that it was “open to any ideas or proposals that take into account the needs and rights of our people,” the organization has promised to resist international pressure.
It criticized the joint statement released by the US and other countries for not demanding a lasting truce and the evacuation of Israeli soldiers from Gaza, but it remained true to its main goals, which Israel has refused.
Speaking on Friday, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said he saw new life in the negotiations to put an end to the conflict and free the remaining captives.
According to Axios, which cited two Israeli officials, Israel informed the Egyptian mediators on Friday that it was prepared to offer hostage talks “one last chance” to work out a resolution with Hamas before advancing with an invasion of Rafah, which serves as the final port of entry for the approximately one million Palestinians who had fled Israeli forces further north in Gaza earlier in the conflict.
Meanwhile, an Israeli airstrike on a residence in Rafah resulted in at least five fatalities and several injuries, according to Palestinian health sources.
On October 7, Hamas militants broke into Israeli communities, murdering 1,200 people and taking 253 captives. Over 34,000 Palestinians have been slain in Israel’s attack on Hamas, which it has vowed to destroy.
