Hamas blames Israel for lack of ceasefire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri says that continued fighting during the festival that ends the month of Ramadan is an insult to Muslims everywhere.
“The occupier is still refusing to a humanitarian lull with regards to the Eid al-Fitr festival,” he says, according to Ynet. “It is a disregard for the feelings of Muslims and their rituals.”
Zuhri says that Israel is to blame for any fighting during the festival today.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Hamas Interior Ministry cautions Gaza Strip residents that there is no formal agreement with Israel over a humanitarian truce.
The current relative quiet is not based on any deal, Iyad Al-Buzum says and warns residents to take care.
