On June 12, 2024, at 1:45 am, along with the United States' mediation, Egypt and Qatar involved in the negotiations confirmed that Palestine has submitted a response regarding the ceasefire resolution passed by the UN Security Council on the 10th. Hamas issued a statement on the 11th urging a 'complete cessation of fighting in Gaza'; while the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization on the same front stated that their response is based on the interests of the Palestinian people and emphasized 'the need to completely stop the ongoing aggression in Gaza'. The proposal for a permanent ceasefire by Hamas transforms the draft's 6-week ceasefire into a permanent one. The US expressed that Hamas' submission was 'very helpful' and they are 'evaluating' the related requests. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged that his wartime cabinet had approved the UN Security Council's draft, but did not explicitly express support.
