The Palestinian armed group is committed to the terms of the ceasefire agreement with Israel, a senior official has said
Palestinian armed group Hamas has rejected claims by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it is creating a last-minute โcrisisโ in finalizing the deal to release the hostages held in Gaza.
On Wednesday, US President-elect Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had struck an agreement securing the release of the remaining hostages. According to multiple media outlets, the agreement approved in Qatar involves a 42-day truce and an exchange of prisoners, including all Israelis taken captive in the October 7, 2023 Hamas incursion into the country.
โHamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement, which was announced by the mediators,โ Izzat al-Risheq, a senior member of the groupโs political bureau, said in a post on Telegram on Thursday.
The statement came shortly after Netanyahuโs office accused the Palestinian group of โreneging on the understandingsโ reached as part of the hostage deal and โcreating a last-minute crisis that is preventing an agreement.โ
