Biden Aide Makes Big Revelation On Gaza Ceasefire-Hostage Talks; Hamas Lashes Out | Watch

Gaza: Hamas has called US President Joe Biden’s statements about the movement backing away from the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip “misleading”. In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas said that it viewed Biden’s claims with “great astonishment and disapproval”, noting that they “do not reflect the true position of the movement, which is keen to reach a cessation of aggression”, Xinhua news agency reported.

Furthermore, it added that the statements are part of American bias toward Israel and a renewed American green light for the Israeli government to “commit more crimes against defenseless civilians in pursuit of the goals of exterminating and displacing our people.” As per the news agency IANS report, it mentioned that mediators in Qatar and Egypt know Hamas has dealt positively and responsibly in all previous rounds of negotiations and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has always been the one to “obstruct reaching an agreement by setting new conditions and demands.”

In the statement, Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to what was agreed upon with mediators on July 2, based on Biden’s declaration and the UN Security Council resolution, and called on the mediators to fulfill their responsibilities and urge the occupation to accept it.
