Hamas pledges to free 10 living hostages



GAZA CITY:

Hamas announced on Saturday that it had submitted its response to a ceasefire proposal from US envoy Steve Witkoff, saying 10 living hostages would be freed from Gaza under the deal.

The White House had said the latest proposal for a deal was approved in advance by Israel, which on Friday warned Hamas to either accept the deal and free the hostages “or be annihilated”.

The group did not explicitly say it had accepted the version of the proposal it received on Thursday, which had also reportedly included a provision for the release of 10 living hostages and a truce of at least 60 days.

In a statement on Saturday, Hamas said it had “submitted its response to US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s latest proposal to the mediating parties”.
