Hamas official urges Trump to ‘pressure’ Israel into ending Gaza war
A senior Hamas official says that the terror group is “ready for a ceasefire” in Gaza and urges US President-elect Donald Trump to “pressure” Israel to “end the aggression.”
“Hamas is ready to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip if a ceasefire proposal is presented and on the condition that it is respected” by Israel, Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim tells AFP. “We call on the US administration and Trump to pressure the Israeli government to end the aggression.”
The Gaza terror group has said it will not accept any ceasefire deal that does not entail a complete and permanent Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and has previously rejected several ceasefire proposals that it deemed insufficient in that regard.
