Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to reports that Hamas rejected the Witkoff ceasefire framework, posting on X: "Mr. Prime Minister, after Hamas again rejected the deal proposal, there are no more excuses for anyone to continue this stagnation in Gaza. We have already missed enough opportunities. It's time to enter with full force." Contrary to the National Security Minister's statement, Hamas has not yet provided an official response to the new Witkoff framework.
