Multiple sources, including Reuters, reporting that the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that "Hamas has not yet given its response to Gaza proposal," countering recent reports that a ceasefire announcement is imminent. 

  • Amichai Stein notes on X: "Israeli Prime Minister's Office: Contrary to reports, the Hamas terror organization has not yet returned its response to the deal."
  • The comments appear to contradict reports, however, Netanyahu's posture is consistent with a series of non-committal public statements his office made in the hours before a ceasefire with Hezbollah was formally announced on November 27.  
  • Roi Kais at Kan notes that Arab sources continue to report that Hamas has responded positively to the agreement: "Senior Palestinian official to Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel: Hamas responded positively to the proposal. The signing is expected this evening or tomorrow."
  • Elior Levy at Kan notes that a Palestinian source familiar with the details of the negotiations said, "a crucial meeting of the Hamas leadership ended early this morning, in which all points were agreed upon and all disputes were resolved, including most of the details on the map issue - but not all of them."
  • Levy continues: "The source estimated that the announcement of the agreement between Hamas and Israel will be made tomorrow (Thursday). The source also estimated that the agreement will begin to be implemented and carried out within 24-48 hours of its announcement."
