EU chief welcomes 'realistic' Gaza ceasefire proposal

Hamas on Friday (May 31) said it "considers positively" an Israeli roadmap towards a full Gaza ceasefire announced by US President. Joe Biden urged Hamas to accept the Israeli offer. "It's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin," he said, in comments echoed by British Foreign Secretary David Cameron. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the Israeli offer "provides a glimpse of hope and a possible path out of the war's deadlock", while EU chief Ursula von der Leyen welcomed a "balanced and realistic" approach to end the bloodshed.
