Hamas has said that there was no need for new ceasefire proposals for Gaza and pressure should be put on Israel to agree to a US plan that the group had already accepted, Reuters reports.
In a statement, Hamas said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to thwart an agreement by insisting that Israel would not withdraw from the Philadelphi corridor in southern Gaza.
We warn against falling into Netanyahu’s trap and tricks, as he uses negotiations to prolong the aggression against our people, the statement said.
Hamas said it accepted a July 2 proposal put forward by the US.
