Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh says the Palestinian terror group is eager to reach a comprehensive ceasefire that will end Israeli “aggression,” guarantee Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, and achieve a deal that will see the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Haniyeh, in his statement, also blames Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “the continuation of the aggression and the expansion of the circle of conflict, and sabotaging the efforts made through the mediators and various parties.”
