Israel slams Hamas for breaking commitments to US, UN
In the first official response to the events unfolding in Gaza this morning, a senior Israeli official slams Hamas for again violating a humanitarian truce.
“It’s clear that Hamas has violated, yet again, another human ceasefire,” the senior official tells The Times of Israel. “They broke commitments given to the United Nations secretary-general and to the United States secretary of state. This is obviously a flagrant violation of the ceasefire arrangement, which specifically allowed Israeli troops to remain in place and allow us to continue to work on tunnels.”
