President Donald Trump says we should know if Hamas will accept the latest framework for a ceasefire plan for Gaza in the next 24 hours. In a statement, Hamas said it will announce its decision after consultations with other Palestinian factions.

Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups before giving a formal response to the latest proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal put forward by the US. President Donald Trump said on Friday morning that expected to know within 24 hours whether Hamas has agreed to the plan.

Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza would lead to the war's end, a source close to the militant group said on Thursday, as medics said Israeli strikes across the territory had killed scores more people.
