Hamas official: We don’t want confrontation with Israel
A senior member of the Hamas political echelon in Gaza says that the terror group does not wish to enter into a fresh conflict with Israel.
“We are not seeking a new confrontation with Israel, but are able to fight any violation of ceasefire understandings” from 2014, says Khalil al-Hayya, according to Ynet.
“We place responsibility for the aggression on Israel and continue contacts with Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations in order to restore calm,” he says, as the IDF and Hamas trade fire across the Gaza border.
