Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri says the terror group is unhappy with calls from Washington and the West for it to accept US President Joe Biden’s proposal on Gaza “considering it is not Hamas hampering the deal.”

In comments reported by Hamas media, Abu Zuhri says Israel is not serious about reaching a deal in Gaza, and is still maneuvering under the US’s cover “despite the White House knowing that the problem lies with [Israel].”
