Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh has blamed Israel for stalling on a ceasefire, saying it refuses to agree to a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza in order for it to happen.
“Despite dozens of sessions and communications exchanged via our mediators, the Zionist enemy until this point has not agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. All they want is the return of captives so they can continue the war on Gaza – and this cannot be,” Haniyeh said.
The Hamas chief added, “They want Hamas and the resistance to agree to maps referencing the deployment of the Israeli army as if to say we are legitimizing the occupation of the Strip. There must be a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.”
