Hamas on Thursday said it was studying a new proposal from Steve Witkoff, after the U.S. envoy said he was optimistic about a possible Gaza cease-fire.

"The leadership of the Hamas movement has received Witkoff's new proposal from the mediators and is currently studying it responsibly, in a manner that serves the interests of our people, provides relief and achieves a permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip," the Palestinian group said in a statement.
