Hamas seeks truce guarantees from US

Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new US ceasefire proposal for Gaza would lead to the war’s end, a source close to the militant group said on Thursday, as medics said Israeli strikes across the territory had killed scores more people.

A separate source familiar with the matter said that Israel was expecting Hamas’ response by Friday and that if it was positive, an Israeli delegation would join indirect talks to cement the deal.

Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes and shootings killed 94 Palestinians in Gaza, including 45 who were attempting to get much-needed aid.
