🚨🇵🇸BREAKING - OFFICIAL HAMAS STATEMENT: NO TALKS PLANNED | DEAD END IN SIGHT Hamas leader Osama Hamdan: "There is no talk so far about any new round of negotiations. We want answers regarding stopping the aggression, withdrawal from Gaza, the return of the displaced, and the reconstruction of Gaza. The occupation did not provide any commitments in its responses, and its answers were an attempt to procrastinate. We appreciate the efforts of the mediators, but the Israeli side is trying to obstruct the negotiations. If Israeli intransigence continues, the efforts of the mediators will face a dead-end. The Israeli side only wants to recover its prisoners and continue the aggression in an open manner. The American position still contributes to covering up Israeli intransigence. We reject any aggressive move towards Rafah and we are not prepared in any way to accept this. We are making every effort to prevent the aggression on Rafah, but the resistance is ready for confrontation. If the occupation continues its aggression, the resistance is ready to confront it. What is required is an end to the aggression and occupation, and we have the right to establish a sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital. " Source: Al Jazeera
