The Palestinian movement of Hamas said that it is still committed to the ceasefire agreement with Israel.
The movement emphasized Israel is responsible for any complications or delays in the implementation of the ceasefire deal.
Senior Hamas leader Basem Naim told the BBC in remarks published on Wednesday that the door is still open for mediators to intervene and get the ceasefire deal back on track.
“We don’t wish that this deal will fall apart,” he said.
“We are doing the maximum to avoid any obstacles, any challenges, and therefore we are ready to hand over prisoners next Saturday if the situation is rectified through the mediators.”
Hamas reiterated its rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plan to take control of the Gaza Strip and described the remarks as “extremist.” (MENA)
