Israel rejects proposal for 5-yr truce with Hamas: state media

Jerusalem, Apr 28 (UNI) Israel has rejected a proposal for a five-year ceasefire with Hamas, under which all Israeli hostages still held in Gaza would have been released, Israel's state-owned broadcaster Kan reported Monday.
A senior Israeli official told local media that Israel "has officially rejected the proposal," according to Kan.
"Some ideas are being floated by certain Arab states, such as a five-year halt to the war," the official said. "There is no chance we will agree to a 'hudna' (a temporary truce) with Hamas that would only allow it to rearm, recover, and continue its war against the State of Israel with even greater force."
