Why it matters:
The statement comes amid renewed Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and escalating tension in the occupied territories. Hamas says Tel Aviv is deliberately undermining the truce in an attempt to extract political concessions through military pressure.
The big picture:
In recent days, Israeli forces have carried out multiple attacks in Gaza, prompting warnings from Palestinian factions about a potential return to full-scale confrontation.
Hamas has blamed the Israeli regime for attempting to “sabotage” the ceasefire.
The movement has called on regional and international mediators to take swift action to halt Israeli aggression.
What they’re saying:
Hamas statement:
“The Palestinian resistance remains committed to the agreements reached, but will not allow any new conditions to be imposed by force.”
“The occupying regime bears full responsibility for the escalation and for attempts to destroy the ceasefire understandings.”
“We call on the mediators and guarantors to assume their responsibilities, to pressure the occupying government to stop the massacres and adhere to the agreements.”
Go deeper:
The ceasefire agreement was brokered by Egypt and Qatar after months of devastating Israeli attacks on Gaza.
On Wednesday, Israeli military strikes killed up to 37 people—including 16 children—across the Gaza Strip, in a stark violation of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, despite the Palestinian resistance movement’s continued commitment to the deal.
