Middle East, Hamas: ‘Netanyahu is the real obstacle to an agreement’

Rome, 24 August (LaPresse) – "Netanyahu's approval of the plan to occupy Gaza, after our acceptance of the mediators' proposal, confirms his determination to obstruct the agreement. We agreed on a partial agreement and said we were ready for a comprehensive agreement, but Netanyahu rejects all solutions.‘ This was stated by Hamas in a declaration. ’A ceasefire agreement is the only way to return the prisoners, and Netanyahu is responsible for their fate. Twenty-two months of aggression have demonstrated the illusion of absolute victory touted by war criminals Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. We call for continued official and popular pressure to stop the genocide and starvation of our Palestinian people," the Palestinian Islamist movement added.
