A high-ranking Hamas official has spoken out against Israel, accusing them of deliberately impeding any progress towards reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. In a statement to the press on Saturday, Sami Abu Zuhri expressed frustration with the ongoing efforts to find a solution to the conflict.
According to Abu Zuhri, the Israeli occupation is actively hindering any attempts to finalize a ceasefire agreement. He further criticized the US administration for fully supporting Israel's stance and claimed that Israel is backtracking on previous agreements. He also alleged that the US is actively trying to prevent any actions in the region that may challenge Israel's position, as reported by Xinhua news agency.
In his statement, Abu Zuhri stated that they are not engaged in genuine negotiations or discussions, but instead are being subjected to the US's demands. He believes that the notion of reaching a ceasefire agreement is an illusion, as they are not being given a fair chance to negotiate.
In a joint statement released on Friday, Qatar, the US, and Egypt announced that the talks held in Doha this week had made significant progress. They also stated that they will continue their efforts in the upcoming days to finalize the details of the agreement's implementation. These three countries have been actively trying to mediate a resolution between Hamas and Israel, as the conflict in Gaza has persisted for multiple months without any results.
Despite multiple rounds of ceasefire discussions, no concrete agreement has been reached. The ongoing conflict has caused devastation and suffering for the people of Gaza, and it is crucial for all parties involved to work towards a peaceful resolution. The efforts of Qatar, the US, and Egypt are a step in the right direction, but it is essential for all sides to come to the table with a willingness to compromise and find a lasting solution.
