Hamas politburo member Ghazi Hamad blames Israel for a failure to reach a ceasefire-for-hostages deal, saying Israel’s “intransigent position is what makes it impossible to reach an agreement, as it rejects the formula of a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive withdrawal, the return of (the population), or anything else.”
Speaking to Al Jazeera last night, Hamad argues that the Biden administration is “not an honest broker” and calls the US “a partner in aggression and genocide.”
The senior Hamas official also insists that the organization can regroup after the war.
