A senior Hamas official rejects claims of progress in Gaza ceasefire talks, adding that the Palestinian terror group has not received maps planning for Israeli withdrawal from the Strip.
“(Israel) has not yet delivered any new or revised maps regarding military withdrawals from the Gaza Strip,” Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas political bureau, tells AFP, accusing Israel of wanting to “prolong military control” in Gaza for the long term.
