Hamas: No commitment to agreement without obliging "Israel" to stop its crimes

The movement concluded its statement by emphasizing that the ball is now in the court of mediators and international powers to ensure the curbing of the occupation's military extremism. In a move reflecting the extent of tension prevailing in the fragile "ceasefire" scene, the leadership of the Hamas movement, on Saturday, conducted a series of intensive and cross-border diplomatic contacts, including international mediators and prominent regional parties.

This move came to clarify the "behavior of the occupation," which the movement described as characterized by treachery and continued aggression, based on flimsy pretexts and false lies aimed at undermining any opportunity for permanent stability in the Gaza Strip.

Warnings of dwindling patience: Resistance's commitment is not free

Khalil al-Hayya, the head of the movement in Gaza, sent strong messages to all, stressing that the resistance's respect for the terms of the existing agreement is not a blank check, but rather conditional on the international community's ability to oblige the occupation to the requirements of de-escalation.

Al-Hayya explained that the daily massacres and blatant violations committed by the occupation forces in various areas of the Strip are a deliberate undermining of understandings, which would free the resistance from any restrictions if these violations, which directly affect the lives of civilians, continue.

Rafah crisis: The occupation bears responsibility for the obstruction

In another thorny issue, the movement held the occupation fully responsible for the failure to reach a radical solution to the issue of the resistance fighters in the city of Rafah, specifically in areas that are still under the military control of the occupation.

Hamas considered that the procrastination in this file reflects a premeditated intention to keep the fuse of escalation burning, and to use these resistance fighters as a political bargaining chip, which the movement rejects entirely, demanding that mediators intervene immediately to resolve this legal and field entanglement.

Messages to mediators: The necessity of intervention before explosion

The movement concluded its statement by emphasizing that the ball is now in the court of mediators and international powers to ensure the curbing of the occupation's military extremism.

It stressed that the repercussions of the ongoing crimes will not be limited to the Palestinian interior, but may extend to overthrow all diplomatic efforts made to achieve stability.
