A representative of a left-wing faction fighting alongside the Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza has told Newsweek his group is open to a temporary ceasefire in their war with Israel and called for greater efforts to establish a unity government among different Palestinian parties.

Hayya, said in a pre-recorded speech on Thursday the group had not rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a ceasefire with Israel but demanded changes that would secure the end of the war in the enclave.

Palestinian group did not reject latest proposal by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff ‘but rather offered some observations and improvements,’ says Khalil al-Hayya - Anadolu Ajansı
