A Palestinian vendor prepares to make falafel sandwiches on a makeshift stall next to the rubble of a destroyed building in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES: Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said on Thursday that the Palestinian militant group was studying a proposal for a truce in the nearly seven-month war raging in Gaza with a"positive spirit".
But the outcome of the talks has remained highly uncertain, with back and forth over the number of hostages that could be released, and profound differences remaining over the aim of any agreement. But in his call Thursday, Haniyeh confirmed that the movement's delegation would go back to Egypt"as soon as possible to complete the ongoing discussions".
Israeli government spokeswoman Raquela Karamson meanwhile told journalists Thursday that"the only thing preventing a deal is Hamas".The war started with Hamas's Oct 7 attack on southern Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
