Hamas is said to have rejected the Israeli proposal for a six -week fire in Gaza, calling on the armed group to abandon his weapons.
A senior Palestinian employee familiar with the negotiations stated that the plan had not committed to end war or to pull Israeli troops – Key Hamas wants – in exchange for the release of half of the living hostages he owns.
He comes as Israel continues his military offensive in Gaza.
A security guard was killed and nine other people were injured in an air strike at a hospital in Khan Eunice, the hospital said. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) did not comment immediately.
In the meantime, the UN agency has warned that “the Gaza humanitarian situation is probably the worst that was in the 18th months of the outbreak of hostilities.”
It has been six weeks since Israel allowed any supply to enter the intersections in the Palestinian territory – far the longest such suspension to date.
UN agencies strongly refute Israel's claim that Gaza has enough food to continue for a long time and to suggest that the blockade can violate international humanitarian law.
Israel's Prime Minister said the supply block was aimed at pressing Hamas to release hostages and extend the reconciliation that expired March 1.
At the same time, the UN Humanitarian Affairs Service said: “Earth partners report a jump in attacks causing mass casualties to civilian and destroying some of the other infrastructure necessary to keep people alive.”
Israel is said to have presented its latest proposal to end the fire of regional mediators late last week, just days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
After that, Hamas's delegation, led by the Chief Negotiating Halil Al-Hay, met with Egyptian intelligence officials in Cairo.
The senior Palestinian officer told the BBC: “The Israeli proposal transmits the movement through Egypt explicitly called for the disarmament of Hamas without committing the Israeli commitment to end the war or to withdraw from Gaza. Hamas rejected the proposal in his authorship.”
Of course, it is the first time Israel has added Hamas disarmament as a condition for advancement of the ceasefire – a red line for the group.
The Palestinian employee accused Israel of being late for time, striving only to extract the hostages while prolonging the war.
It is estimated that 59 hostages remain in Gaza, of which 24 are alive.

Recently launched hostages connected how much they were held with them in harsh conditions underground. Some are in poor health with untreated injuries.
Hamas said he was ready to return all the captives held, in exchange for a full end of hostilities and the complete pull of Israel from Gaza.
Previously, he offered five hostages in exchange for an extension of the truce, but claimed to have shown the flexibility of the number of hostages to be released.
The BBC understands that Egypt has submitted a modified offer to Hamas, which is now considering.
The Israeli media had not expected an upcoming breakthrough of fire.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper cites an unnamed Israeli senior security officer who says: “We appreciate there will be a deal within two three weeks, but there are still gaps and the distance is great.”
“We want to make them release 19 living hostages. Israel and the United States are coordinated and military pressure has an impact,” the official continued.
“They have a shortage of gas and the food and fuel will expire in a few weeks. The great achievement of the return of residents to the northern Gaza strip has been deleted.
Israel resumed its bombing from Gaza on March 18 and then restarted ground operations, saying it was aimed at Hamas. The prime minister said future fire negotiations would be held “under fire”.
As Israel restarted its offensive in Gaza, at least 1630 people were killed – bringing a total killed war to 51,000 in 18 months, according to the latest data by the Ministry of Health, managed by Hamas.
About 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage in the unprecedented attacks led by Hamas October 7, which caused the war, Israel says.

On Tuesday morning, Israeli military aircraft struck by the Kuwait Field Hospital Gate in Al Mavasi, a crowded area for displaced people on the shore near Khan Enisis in southern Gaza, hospital spokesman Saber Abu Arar told the BBC.
The man who was killed worked on the spot, he said, and the injured were both hospital and patients. Three ambulances and some tents used as a reception area were damaged.
The graphics footage released from Facebook field hospital showed that a man covered with blood rushed with attempts to resuscitate him.
The attack comes after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was “deeply alarmed” at the strike on Sunday at Al-Ali Hospital in Arabic Hospital in Gaza, a spokesman said.
Israel said it was aimed at a building of the place Hamas used as a “Command and Control Center”-something that the group denies.
Doctors have diverged to evacuate the hospital, stating that they have only been given a 20-minute IDF warning. It is said that a 12-year-old boy who is being treated for head injuries has died because his care has been disturbed.
The hospital – which was the best functioning in North Gaza – is already out of service and cannot recognize new patients.
“According to international humanitarian law, early and sick, medical staff and medical facilities, including hospitals, must be respected and protected,” said Guterres spokesman.
He added that the attack had a “heavy blow to the already devastated healthcare system”, adding that with the help of the help, there was a lot of concern that medical supplies were already diminishing, as well as food and water stocks.

The UN Secretary -General said that, according to international humanitarian law, the occupation power has obliged to guarantee relief for the civil population.
The recent Israeli military orders for evacuation have led to a large -scale displacement of 2.1 million population of gas.
The UN says about 70% of the tape is currently under a shift order or in a job, where Israeli authorities require humanitarian teams to coordinate their movements.
In Israel, polls suggest that the majority of the Israelis support the deal to end the Gaza Fire and – when it comes to the mentioned military goals of their countries – give priority to bringing the hostages for dismantling the ruling and military capabilities of Hamas.
However, Netanyahu is supported by solid religious ultra -nationalist parties that threaten to collapse the government if he ended the war.
Israel signed a transaction to end the fire in January, which led to the release of 33 hostages – 25 of them alive – in exchange for about 1800 Palestinian prisoners in the first six -week scene.
Then it largely refused to start conversations in the planned second stage, which had to lead to the complete withdrawal of the Israeli forces and the full end of the battles.
Over the past week, Israeli military reservists and veterans signed several open letters condemning the ongoing war and questioned its priorities.
There is also criticism of the head of IDF headquarters and the Air Force Commander for the dismissal of Air Force reservists who signed an original statement.
This coincided with the increasing dissatisfaction with reservists and their families because of the price of the ongoing reserve duty, along with the inability of the government to prepare ultra -Orthodox Jews, despite the IDF to be faced with a shortage of military soldiers.
