Hamas said on Saturday it was seeking amendments to a U.S.-backed proposal for a temporary ceasefire with Israel in Gaza, but President Donald Trump's envoy rejected the group's response as "totally unacceptable.

Officials said Hamas was demanding changes, including on guarantees to end the war, which has long been the main sticking point with Israel.

The group said it sought a permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of the Israeli military from Gaza, though additional details were not immediately available.
