According to foreign media, Telegrafi conveys talks, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, to achieve a ceasefire between Israel and the Islamic movement in the Gaza war, have repeatedly stalled with both sides, blaming the other for lack of progress.
Hamas' last statement came as Israel continued an offensive in the southern city of Gaza, Rafah, despite an order by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN's highest court, to stop the attacks.
“Hamas and Palestinian factions will refuse to be part of this policy by continuing negotiations (of ceasefire) in light of aggression, siege, hunger and genocide of our people”, Hamas' statement said.
Today, we informed mediators of our clear position that if the occupant bans his war and aggression against our people in Gaza, our readiness is to reach a full agreement involving a comprehensive exchange agreement”, it is quoted as saying further.
Israel has rejected Hamas' past bids, praising them as insufficient and said it is determined to eliminate a group prone to its destruction.
He says her offensive at Rafah is focused on saving the hostages and rooting out the Hamas warriors.
Nearly 36,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's offensive throughout Gaza, the health ministry there says.
Israel began the operation after Hamas-led militants attacked the southern Israeli communities on 7 October last year, killing about 1200 people and apprehending more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli data. /Telegraphy/
