Hamas Maintains its Stance on the Ceasefire Despite Facing Intense Pressure

One of the senior leaders of Hamas has announced that the movement will not submit to the pressures to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza that does not meet the conditions of the Resistance.

Despite the strong pressure on the resistance in Gaza to accept an agreement that does not meet the basic conditions, Hamas does not submit to these pressures and is against any act to legitimize the Zionist occupation of Gaza under any circumstances, a senior Hamas leader told The New Arab on the condition of anonymity on Wednesday.

Hamas and other resistance groups are against the Zionist entity’s act to take 50 km of Gaza lands under the title of safe zones and insist on the complete withdrawal of the Zionist armed forces from Gaza and the establishment of a complete ceasefire and the reconstruction of Gaza as a condition for the release of Zionist prisoners.

Zionist genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,211 Palestinians since its onset on October 7, 2023. Women and children make up nearly 70% of the deaths, according to a report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights earlier this month.
