Hamas Holds 'Israel' Fully Responsible for End of Truce in Gaza

By Al Mayadeen English

Ezzat al-Resheq, a member of Hamas’s political bureau expressed that Hamas communicated its intentions to extend the truce but it was "Israel" that refused offers from mediators in order to continue its genocidal conquest in the strip.

Ezzat al-Resheq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, accused the Israeli occupation of being fully responsible for the non-extension of the humanitarian truce, which expired on Friday.

“Claims that Hamas violated the terms of the truce deal are intended to justify the resumption of the genocidal war against civilians in the Gaza Strip,” al-Resheq detailed.

Earlier, the Israeli occupation military claimed that Hamas broke the humanitarian pause. The latest truce expired on Friday at 07:00 am local time (05:00 GMT).

Shortly after, "Israel" renewed its aggression across Gaza, bombing the Strip indiscriminately. The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that 14 people were martyred in Israeli occupation massacres after the first two hours of the end of the truce.

Al-Resheq added that the occupation is “repeating its false allegations in the hope that it can invent excuses for its renewed aggression against Gazans."

He called "Israel's" accusations that Hamas broke the truce attempts that are aimed at "obscuring the regime's premeditated plan to resume its barbaric bombardments and raids and commit much more horrific massacres against defenseless civilians” in Gaza.

Al-Resheq also detailed that Hamas showed intentions to extend the truce, fully placing responsibility on the Israeli entity for the failure to extend the truce, adding that "Israel" refused mediator offers.
