ONCE AGAIN: Hamas Rejects Witkoff Hostage Deal as IDF Intensifies Gaza Operation

The Hamas terror group has declined a hostage release agreement as part of the Witkoff framework, which Israel has agreed to, the Prime Minister’s Office just revealed.

“Israel supports the U.S.-proposed plan for the hostages’ return, based on the Witkoff framework,” the statement noted. “Recently presented to Hamas via mediators, the proposal has met with continued refusal.”

The statement said that senior negotiators will head back to Israel, while a working team will remain in Doha, Qatar.
