It seems that Hamas has rejected Israel’s latest attempt to secure a ceasefire and secure the return of about a dozen hostages which have been held in the Gaza Strip for 556 days.
The terrorist organization has so far released a formal response to the rejection of the Israeli’s ceasefire proposal, but on Tuesday, according to the remarks by Hamas leader Abu Zuhari to reporters, “Handing the weapons of resistance is a million red lines and not subject to the idea, discuss alone.”
Fox News Digital cannot independently verify the limit of the terms included in the deal, but sources said the terms said that the terms include the 45-day ceasefire and the withdrawal of humanitarian aid-which has been blocked from 2 March-In exchange for the disarmament of the horses and in exchange for disarmament of Hamas.

The Israeli government assesses that 24 of the 59 hostages held in the Gaza Strip are still alive, including American Israeli Aidan Alexander – who had the second proof of the life video released by Hamas on Saturday, The Eve of Possesion.
But Hamas on Tuesday claimed that it had lost contact with the soldiers and said that Alexander was guarded and accused the Israeli forces of targeting their location, although it did not give evidence of any strike.
On several occasions, Hamas has wrongly blamed the Israeli attacks for the loss of communication with the hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
Fox News Digital could not immediately reach Israeli officials nor Alexander’s family posted on Tuesday’s claims in a telegram post by Abu OBida, spokesperson of Hamas’s al-Kasam Brigade.
The reports of the motion failure have not come as a surprise for the mediators, which are tight and have not answered Fox New Digital questions.
Some reporting suggested that the mediators did not believe that the Israeli ceasefire proposal would receive a lot of traction despite the continuous progress of Israel in Gaza as it did not propose the terms of any return and called Hamas to abandon his arms.

Israel was frustrated last month when it resumed military operations across the Gaza Strip, which failed to secure the end of the first ceasefire and to secure the second phase, which was aimed at looking at the release of the remaining hostages.
In the weekend, Israel captured more area in the Gaza Strip, after the report earlier this month, it was indicated that this ceasefire negotiation for more than half of the Palestinian region was banned.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that the IDF captured the area from the Philadelphia Corridor to the southern part of the Gaza Strip, which runs along the boundary between Egypt and Gaza Strip, and Morg Axis, a new corridor was cut before this month, roughly a quadruple part of the Egyptian border.
Katz said the area has become a buffer zone controlled by IDF.

He said, “The northern border area in Gaza is also deeply expanding and expanding as the protection of the security area and the Israeli settlement,” he said in a post on X.
“The main goal is to put heavy pressure on Hamas, which is in favor of returning to the outline to release the kidnappers,” Katz continued. “Gaza will be small and more isolated, and more and more inhabitants will be forced to empty the combat zone.”
