Hamas Says Israel is Pushing Things Back to ‘Square One’
Palestinian group Hamas on Monday accused Israel of working to “collapse” a ceasefire agreement for Gaza and evade a continuation of the truce amid an impasse over its implementation.
Hamdan also calling Israel’s push for an extension of the deal “a blatant attempt to evade the agreement and avoid entering into negotiations for the second phase”.
“Violations of the agreement during the first phase prove beyond a doubt the (Israeli) occupation government was interested in the collapse of the agreement and worked hard to achieve that,” senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said in a video statement.
