Hamas says it hasn’t accepted ceasefire
Hamas denies that it has accepted any 24-hour humanitarian ceasefire, contrary to claims by a Palestinian Authority spokesperson.
Spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri says that declaration by PA spokesman Yasser Abed Rabbo that Hamas agreed to a unilateral cessation of hostilities for a day, with the possibility of an extension to three days, is false and has no connection to Hamas’s stance.
