The Israeli prime minister&#8217;s office said late on Tuesday that the details of the Hamas response were being &#8220;thoroughly evaluated by the officials involved in the negotiations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on a lightning tour of the Middle East, said Washington was reviewing the Hamas response and that he would discuss it with Israeli officials when he visits the country on Wednesday. However U.S. President Joe Biden, while acknowledging &#8220;some movement&#8221; on a deal, described the Hamas response as &#8220;a little over the top&#8221;, without elaborating. &#8220;We&#8217;re not sure where it is. There&#8217;s continuing negotiations right now,&#8221; he said in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>In Doha, Blinken said, &#8220;There\u2019s still a lot of work to do be done, but we continue to believe that an agreement is possible, and indeed essential.&#8221; He spoke at a news conference with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani after Hamas delivered its response. Sheikh Mohammed described the Hamas response as &#8220;positive&#8221; overall but also declined to give any details.<\/p>\n<p>In its statement Hamas said it had &#8220;dealt with the proposal in a positive spirit, ensuring a comprehensive and complete ceasefire, ending the aggression against our people, ensuring relief, shelter, and reconstruction, lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, and achieving a prisoner swap&#8221;. A Hamas official who asked not to be identified reiterated to Reuters earlier on Tuesday that the Palestinian Islamist movement would not allow any hostage releases without guarantees that the war would and Israeli forces leave Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will fight on until Hamas is wiped out. But there is also a growing Israeli movement demanding more effort to bring the hostages home, even if that means a deal with Hamas.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/israel-presses-onslaught-gazas-khan-younis-us-pursues-ceasefire-quest-2024-02-06\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/israel-presses-onslaught-gazas-khan-younis-us-pursues-ceasefire-quest-2024-02-06\/\">Reuters<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/hamas-responds-to-gaza-truce-deal-blinken-says-agreement-possible\/\">Hamas responds to Gaza truce deal, Blinken says agreement &#8216;possible&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[8719,555,3444,12363,6160],"class_list":["post-125157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-blinken","tag-csr-news-en","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-respond"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125157\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
