Hamas submits ceasefire demands to Qatar, Turkey
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum tells Palestinian daily Al-Resalah that the Islamist group has submitted its ceasefire demands to Qatar and Turkey, but so far there is no other initiative than Egypt’s.
Osama Hamdan, Hamas’s international relations spokesperson, tells the paper that the Egyptian initiative didn’t favor the Palestinian people, and there was no serious initiative they could accept.
