Hamas Not to Accept Any Ceasefire Plan that Excludes End to War on Gaza

IQNA – A Hamas official said any ceasefire proposal that does not include an end to the Israeli war on Gaza will be rejected by the resistance group.

Sami Abu Zuhri underlined that the cessation of the war is the definite prerequisite for accepting any ceasefire plan. 

He warned against the continuation of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people and said it could set the entire region on fire.

Abu Zuhri also said that contacts and consultations continue for reaching a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange.

The Israeli regime has been waging an atrocious onslaught against the Gaza Strip, targeting hospitals, residences, and houses of worship after Palestinian resistance movements launched a surprise attack, dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, on October 7.

At least 37,400 Gaza people, mostly women and children, have been killed and 85,197 wounded in the Israeli onslaught.

Also, vast tracts of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
