Hamas refuses to extend the first phase: “Israel avoids committing to the end of war”
One of the spokesmen of Hamas, Hazem Qasem, has confirmed this Saturday in an interview with the Television Channel to Araby that the Islamist group rejects Israel’s proposal to extend the first phase of the agreement of the Alto El Fuego in the Gaza Strip because, with that measure Israel “avoids committing to end the war.” “Prolong the first phase of the agreement in the format that Israel wants is unacceptable to the organization,” Qasem added during the interview.
