News reports from Cairo say that Tel Aviv has thwarted all efforts by mediators to reach a ceasefire agreement in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Hamas negotiaor Sami Abu Zuhri, Israel refuses to end its onslaught on Gaza, ensure delivery of humanitarian aid and the return of the displaced Palestinians. Another official who was involved in negotiations in Egypt\u2019s capital, Cairo, said: \u201cWe are awaiting the final official response from the enemy (Israel).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe initial responses do not meet the minimum requirements related to the permanent cessation of hostilities,\u201d the official said. \u201cWe will not compromise on that which ensures the safety of our people.\u201d Hamas insists on a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the return of the displaced and the entry of humanitarian aid and the beginning of reconstruction in the besieged territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another Hamas official, Mahmoud Mardawi, said the fate of negotiations now rests upon the United States, Israel\u2019s great benefactor. \u201cIt is now in Washington\u2019s hands whether it wants to pressure Netanyahu and his regime to reach an agreement,\u201d Mardawi said. \u201cIf Israel is serious and does not procrastinate, it is possible to reach a ceasefire before the start of Ramadan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha said Israel \u201crefuses to commit to and give guarantees regarding the ceasefire, the return of the displaced, and withdrawal from the areas of its incursion.\u201d The Hamas delegation has left Cairo without achieving a breakthrough in negotiations. Hamas says the talks are set to resume next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHamas\u2019s delegation left Cairo this morning for consultation with the leadership of the movement,\u201d a Hamas statement says. Envoys from the U.S., Qatar and Hamas were involved in the ceasefire talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than five months into Israel\u2019s genocidal campaign in Gaza, the regime\u2019s incessant airstrikes and shelling keep claiming innocent lives in the besieged territory. The Gaza Health Ministry says over 80 people have been killed and 140 others injured since Wednesday. In the north of Gaza City, Israel conducted a deadly airstrike on a mosque in the Jabalia refugee camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
