Hamas announced its readiness to consider Witkoff's plan for the Gaza Strip

The radical Palestinian movement Hamas is ready to consider a cease-fire plan in the Gaza Strip, which was previously proposed by US Special Envoy Stephen Witkoff. This was announced on March 18 by a member of the Hamas political bureau, Osama Hamdan.

"What Witkoff proposed is an attempt to withdraw from an already signed agreement and conclude a new one. <...> However, we were ready to be positive about Witkoff's plan," he told Al Jazeera television.

At the same time, the condition for such a step would be a gradual transition to the next stage of the agreement.
