Israeli officials say Sinwar's main goal has not changed: to reach a deal that will force Israel to end the war in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently refuses that.Kirby's optimistic statement seems to be part of a White House strategy to create a negotiations dynamic that could lead to a hostage deal and a ceasefire.Hamas announced on Monday that it accepted a ceasefire proposal given to it by Egypt and Qatar.
U.S. officials say Hamas' statement came after the group presented its counteroffer to an Israeli proposal from late April.the Hamas response was basically a new proposal drafted by the group together with Egypt and Qatar and claimed it goes far beyond the proposal that Israel submitted at the end of April and that won the support of the US, Egypt and Qatar.but didn't brief Israel before Hamas announced it accepted it on Monday.
The officials said a Hamas delegation also arrived in Cairo to hold follow-up talks with the mediators.He is expected to then travel to Israel on Wednesday, a source with knowledge of the trip told Axios. He is expected to meet with Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.
