In a recent development, a senior Hamas official, Izzat el-Reshiq, declared the group's unwavering commitment to the ceasefire agreement brokered by international mediators on Wednesday. This announcement comes amidst rising tensions and differing perspectives on the implementation of the deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has raised concerns, accusing Hamas of backtracking on certain aspects of the agreement. Earlier statements from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office suggested that Hamas might be reneging on parts of the ceasefire in an attempt to secure last-minute concessions.
Responding to these allegations, Hamas reiterated their dedication to peace, emphasizing their intent to uphold the terms agreed upon. However, the Israeli cabinet has indicated that it will not convene until there is clear confirmation from the mediators that Hamas has fully accepted all elements of the ceasefire agreement.
This ongoing dialogue highlights the fragile nature of peace efforts in the region, with both parties navigating the complexities of ensuring long-term stability and mutual trust.
