1 hour ago|A Hamas official said Tuesday that the Gaza ceasefire cannot proceed to its second phase as long as “violations” by ‘Israel’ persist, calling on mediators to pressure ‘Israel’ to respect the deal.
"The second phase cannot begin as long as the occupation (Israel) continues its violations of the agreement and evades its commitments," Hamas political bureau member Hossam Badran told AFP, referring to the fragile ceasefire that came into effect on October 10.
"Hamas has asked the mediators to pressure the occupation to complete the implementation of the first phase," Hossam Badran said.
