Hamas says it won’t send delegation to ceasefire-hostage talks Thursday
The Hamas terror group says it does not plan to send negotiators to mediated talks with Israel on a ceasefire-hostage deal, set for Thursday in Cairo or Doha.
It has asked mediators to present a plan based upon past negotiations, instead of engaging in new talks for a deal.
“The movement calls on the mediators to present a plan to implement what was agreed upon by the movement on July 2, 2024, based on Biden’s vision and the UN Security Council resolution,” Hamas says in a statement.
“The mediators should enforce this on the occupation (Israel) instead of pursuing further rounds of negotiations or new proposals that would provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and grant it more time to continue its genocide against our people,” the statement adds.
