Hamas responds to proposed Gaza ceasefire plan
Hamas says it has given its response to a framework proposal for a new ceasefire in Gaza.
In a statement Hamas said it responded '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.'
It was earlier reported to include a six-week truce, when more Israeli hostages would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners.
