Hamas accuses the occupation of trying to disrupt the agreement.. and clarifies its position regarding disarmament.

Ismail Ridwan, a leader in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, stated that the Israeli occupation continues to procrastinate and evade fulfilling the obligations of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, and that the movement is committed to discussing disarmament and the management of the Gaza Strip within a national framework.

He added in a television interview that Hamas is committed to implementing the agreement to fully end the aggression, withdraw the occupation forces from the Strip, rebuild it, fully open the crossings, and allow the entry of aid.

Ridwan also accused the occupation of failing to adhere to its humanitarian obligations in the first phase of the agreement, noting that it is allowing only very small amounts of aid to enter despite its commitment to allow at least 600 trucks daily.

He confirmed the occupation's refusal to allow the entry of necessary relief aid, tents, urgent goods, in addition to the heavy equipment needed to remove rubble and recover the bodies of the missing, including the bodies of Israeli prisoners.

He continued, "The failure to operate the Rafah crossing and the refusal to allow the entry of medical supplies or to transport patients who need treatment abroad represents another aspect of Israel's violation of what was agreed upon."

Regarding the issue of Palestinian missing persons, Ridwan pointed out that the destruction in the Strip has resulted in over 10,000 missing persons under the rubble, who can only be recovered by bringing in the heavy equipment that was agreed upon in the ceasefire plan.

He explained that "the occupation is causing delays in extracting the Israeli prisoners who are under the rubble, and in delivering their bodies by preventing the entry of international teams and the necessary equipment to search for them, while blaming us."

Ridwan also called on mediators and the U.S. administration to work on obligating the occupation to fulfill its obligations so that the transition to the second phase can occur, emphasizing that disarmament of the resistance and management of the Strip will only be discussed within the Palestinian national framework.

He confirmed the movement's keenness to form an independent committee to manage the Strip urgently without Hamas's participation, stating that the movement has provided the Egyptians with a written approval on this matter, accusing Israel of putting obstacles in the way to prevent the transition to the second phase.

The occupying state refuses to open the Rafah crossing and imposes significant restrictions on the aid that was agreed to be allowed in, claiming that Hamas is delaying the delivery of the bodies of the prisoners.
