Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian terror group Hamas tells AFP it insists on the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire’s second phase, arguing that Israel’s endorsement of what it says is a US-proposed temporary extension of the initial phase means it is “reneging on the agreements it has signed.”
“The only way to achieve stability in the region and the return of the prisoners is to complete the implementation of the agreement… starting with the implementation of the second phase,” Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi said in a statement given to AFP. “This is what we insist on and we will not back down from it.”
