Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh confirmed on Tuesday that they received the proposal hashed out at the Paris meeting, indicating that they will respond to it.

Haniyeh said in a statement that "our response to the proposal will be based on stopping Israeli aggression against Gaza and withdrawing their forces from Gaza."

He added that Hamas is open to discussing any serious ideas, provided that "they lead to a comprehensive cessation of aggression and providing shelter for our displaced people."

Haniyeh appreciated the role of Egypt and Qatar in reaching a sustainable ceasefire agreement in Gaza, saying that Hamas received an invitation to visit Cairo to discuss the framework agreement issued by the Paris meeting.
