Hamas official Osama Hamdan says that the terror group cannot agree to a deal that does not secure a clear Israeli position on a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal from Gaza.

“We asked the mediators to get a clear Israeli position to commit to a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal from Gaza,” he tells a press conference in Beirut.
