Hamas says no more truce extensions, deal or no

Hamas political official Izzat al-Rishq says the Palestinian delegation will not extend the truce any longer after midnight.

“If they fail to formulate an agreement, the negotiations will end,” Rishq says of the sides engaged in negotiations.

“We are not interested in lengthening negotiations any more,” he adds, according to Ynet. “A significant part of the delegation did not want to extend the truce, up until the last moments [before the truce expired].”
