Hamas issued on Sunday a statement, affirming that Netanyahu’s approval of the plan to occupy Gaza City, after the Resistance Movement’s acceptance to the mediators’ proposal, confirms his determination to obstruct the agreement.
“We agreed to a partial deal, while we also expressed readiness for a comprehensive one, However, Netanyahu rejects all Hamas: Israeli and American admissions confirm that Netanyahu is the real obstacle to prisoner exchange deals and ceasefire,” the statement mentioned.
Hamas indicated that recent statements by former US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller affirmed that Netanyahu was procrastinating and lying, through placing new conditions whenever we were close to finalize an agreement.
“A ceasefire agreement is the only way to return the (Zionist) prisoners, and Netanyahu bears full responsibility for their fate. More than 22 months of aggression have proven the illusion of “absolute victory” touted by war criminals Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich.”
Hamas called for continuing official and popular pressure to stop the genocide and starvation against our Palestinian people.
Elsewhere, Hamas commended the courageous and ethical stance of Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp and his resignation—alongside several ministers—following the refusal of his government coalition partners to impose new sanctions on the Zionist occupation entity, over its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip and its settlement projects in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
