Hamas refuses to “back down” from its demands for a full ceasefire, but agrees to send a delegation for renewed talks in Cairo over the weekend.
“Hamas confirms its adherence to the position it presented on March 14 … and we will not back down from this position,” the terror group says in a statement, referring to its demands which include a complete ceasefire in Gaza and the withdrawal of all Israel Defense Forces from the Strip.
Reuters reports that the Hamas delegation will be headed by the terror group’s deputy chief in Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya.
