"CAIRO, May 26 (Reuters) - A #Palestinian official said on Monday that #Hamas has agreed to a proposal by U.S. special envoy #SteveWitkoff for a #Gaza ceasefire, only for an Israeli official to deny that the proposal was Washington's and add that no #Israeli government could accept it.

Witkoff also rejected the notion that Hamas had accepted his offer for a hostage deal and a ceasefire in Gaza, telling Reuters that what he had seen was "completely unacceptable" and the proposal being discussed was not the same as his."
