The White House confirmed on 29 May that the Israeli government approved a temporary ceasefire proposal presented by US special envoy to West Asia Steve Witkoff.
“Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent to Hamas,” White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
Earlier in the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the families of captives held by Hamas that Israel is ready to move forward with a prisoner exchange and ceasefire deal in Gaza on the basis of Witkoff’s new proposal.
Sources who spoke with *Axios* said the new proposal does not include a clear US guarantee that the temporary ceasefire will lead to a permanent ceasefire.
The Witkoff proposal also does not guarantee that if the negotiations continue beyond 60 days, the ceasefire will also continue. Israel will then be able to unilaterally violate it, as it did in March.
A senior Israeli official told Ravid that the assessment of the Israeli intelligence services is that Hamas is going to reject the proposal.
*Reuters *reported <www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/netanyahu-says-israel-accepts-witkoffs-new-gaza-truce-proposal-media-report-2025-05-29/> that Hamas said earlier that it had received the new proposal from mediators and was studying it.
*On Tuesday, sources told <www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/27/hamas-agrees-to-a-gaza-ceasefire-sources-say-us-and-israel-dismiss-report> Al Jazeera that the Palestinian resistance movement had agreed to a US proposal for a 60-day truce and the release of 10 captives. US envoy Witkoff quickly denied the claim.*
*Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining captives all at once in exchange for a permanent ceasefire. It has also said it is willing to cede control of the Gaza Strip to an interim government, as proposed in an Arab League-backed $53 billion plan for the enclave’s reconstruction.*
