Truce will come when blockade is lifted — Haniyeh
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh says a ceasefire will be reached when the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted.
“The threats of the enemy leaders only strengthen our commitment to the Palestinian demands, at the top of which is the lifting of the blockade,” he tells Hamas’s Al Aqsa TV. “A permanent ceasefire will be secured when the blockade is lifted.”
