Two senior Hamas leaders on Thursday rejected Israeli allegations that the Palestinian operator group was backtracking on elements of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal announced the day before.
“There is no basis to (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu’s claims about the movement backtracking from terms in the ceasefire agreement,” one Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, told AFP.
Hamas political bureau member Izzat al-Rishq said separately in a statement that: “Hamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement, which was announced by the mediators.”
