CAIRO — Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist terror group Hamas, issues a statement following the recent death of his sister, saying any hostage deal that does not guarantee a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s offensive in Gaza is “not an agreement.”
“If [Israel] thinks targeting my family will change our position or that of the resistance, they are delusional,” the statement says.
