 * Hamas urges Washington to pressure Israel to accept ceasefire

DOHA/GENEVA/CAIRO, June 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
said on Wednesday that Hamas had proposed numerous changes, some unworkable, to
a U.S.-backed proposal for a ceasefire with Israel in Gaza, but that mediators
were determined to close the gaps.
Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan denied that the Palestinian Islamist group
had put forward new ideas. Speaking to pan-Arab Al-Araby TV, he reiterated
Hamas' stance that it was Israel that was rejecting proposals and accused the
U.S. administration of going along with its close ally.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said many of Hamas' proposed
changes were minor "and not unanticipated" while others differed more
substantially from what was outlined in a U.N. Security Council resolution on
Monday backing the plan put forward by U.S. President Joe Biden.
"Our aim is to bring this process to a conclusion. Our view is that the time for
haggling is over," Sullivan told reporters.

Hamas also wants written guarantees from the U.S. on the ceasefire plan, two
Egyptian security sources told Reuters.
Late on Wednesday, Hamas issued a statement stressing its "positivity" in the
negotiations and urging the U.S. to pressure Israel to accept an agreement
leading to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza as well as full withdrawal from the
enclave, reconstruction and release of Palestinian prisoners.

The Palestinian group said that while U.S. officials have said Israel has
accepted a ceasefire proposal outlined by Biden on May 31, "we have not heard
any Israeli official confirm this acceptance."
Biden's proposal envisages a truce and a phased release of Israeli hostages in
Gaza in exchange for Palestinians jailed in Israel, ultimately leading to a
permanent end to the war.
At a press conference with Qatar's prime minister in Doha, Blinken said some of
the counter-proposals from Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, had sought to
amend terms that it had accepted in previous talks.



MONTHS OF TALKS

Negotiators from the U.S., Egypt and Qatar have tried for months to mediate a
ceasefire in the conflict - which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians
and devastated the heavily populated enclave - and free the hostages, more than
100 of whom are believed to remain captive in Gaza.
"Hamas could have answered with a single word: Yes," Blinken said. "Instead,
Hamas waited nearly two weeks and then proposed more changes, a number of which
go beyond positions that it had previously taken and accepted."

In its late Wednesday statement, Hamas said it had expressed its readiness to
cooperate while Israel did not. Blinken's stance was "a continuation of the
American policy complicit in the brutal genocide against our Palestinian
people." The group said the U.S. was providing political and military cover for
Israel to press ahead with its assault on Gaza.
The U.S. has said Israel has accepted its proposal, but Israel has not publicly
stated this. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said Israel will
not commit to ending its campaign before Hamas is eliminated.
Major powers are intensifying efforts to defuse the conflict in part to prevent
it spiralling into a wider Middle East war, with a dangerous flashpoint being
the escalating hostilities along the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The fighting in Gaza began on Oct. 7 when militants led by Hamas burst across
the border and killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 250 hostage, according
to Israeli tallies.
Israel's air and ground war since then has killed more than 37,000 Palestinians,
according to Gaza's health ministry, displaced most of Gaza's population of 2.3
million and devastated housing and infrastructure.
The head of the World Health Organization said on Wednesday many people in Gaza
were facing "catastrophic hunger and famine-like conditions", with over 8,000
children under five years old diagnosed and treated for acute malnutrition.
A U.N. inquiry found that both Israel and Hamas had committed war crimes early
in the Gaza war, and that Israel's actions also constituted crimes against
humanity because of the immense civilian losses.


ISRAEL CONTINUES ASSAULTS IN GAZA

As diplomats sought a ceasefire deal, Israel continued assaults in central and
southern Gaza that are among the bloodiest of the war.
Israeli forces stepped up air and tank bombardment on Wednesday night in Rafah
and central Gaza, residents said. An Israeli air strike on a house in
Al-Nuseirat refugee camp killed three people, medics said.
Residents earlier said Israeli forces pounded areas across Gaza on Wednesday as
tanks advanced towards northern Rafah, which skirts the Egyptian border.
Palestinian health officials said six people were killed in an airstrike on Gaza
City in the north, and one man had been killed by a tank shell in Rafah.
