GAZA, — Hamas has accused Israel of deliberately intensifying its military campaign in the Gaza Strip in an effort to derail ongoing ceasefire implementation and undermine mediation efforts.
In a statement, the Palestinian group said the recent escalation in Israeli airstrikes was intended to obstruct understandings reached through international mediators and prevent the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
According to Hamas, the increased military operations are aimed at creating new obstacles to diplomatic efforts rather than advancing a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
“Hamas believes the deliberate escalation of Israeli attacks is designed to prevent the ceasefire agreement from being fully implemented,” the group said.
Hamas urged regional and international mediators to take immediate action and increase pressure on Israel to halt what it described as continued violations and attacks against civilians in Gaza.
