Gaza, September 30 (IANS): Hamas has received a US-backed proposal aimed at ending the war in the Gaza Strip, presented by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, a Hamas source said. The Qatari prime minister and the head of Egypt's General Intelligence Service presented the plan to Hamas negotiators, the source said. Egypt's Al Qahera News TV, citing Egyptian security sources, confirmed the delivery of the US peace proposal to Hamas. The report said Egypt and other Arab countries made several amendments to the plan before presenting it to Hamas in Doha. "Through this, Israel is attempting -- via the United States -- to impose what it could not achieve through war," the group said in a statement.
