Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has said the Palestinian group will not accept anything less than a “complete cessation of the aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza and the lifting of the unjust siege.”
Israel must also free Palestinian prisoners serving long sentences in any upcoming swap deal, Haniyeh said in a statement.
The Hamas leader blamed Israel for the lack of progress in achieving a ceasefire agreement.
