Hamas denies ceasefire deal reached

A member of Hamas’s political leadership, Izzat al-Rishq, denies to Arabic media that Hamas has agreed to a long-term humanitarian truce with Israel. He clarifies that “the information to that effect is not correct and Hamas is still committed to its public demands in order to reach a ceasefire.”

Al-Rishq was present earlier on Monday at the meeting between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal in Qatar.

Meanwhile, the head of the Islamic Jihad also says the terms of a ceasefire haven’t been reached.
