Ezzat Al -Rashish, a leader of the Hamas movement, today (Saturday), called on the American administration to “stop acquitting Israel and provide political and military cover” to continue the war on Gaza.
He added, in statements published on “Telegram”, that he is calling on the United States “to pressure Israel to seriously engage in an agreement that ends the war on Gaza and achieves a prisoner exchange deal.”
Al -Rashil expressed his surprise at the statements issued by US President Donald Trump, and before the statements of the US special envoy Steve Whitkov, which contradicts the evaluation of the brokers of the movement’s position, and is not consistent with the course of the negotiating path, he said.
President Trump accused Hamas of not wanting a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli Prime Minister talked about “alternative options” to return the hostages detained in the besieged sector where the war has continued for 21 months. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced, after the negotiations in Doha, “he studied alternative options to restore” hostages and “ending the terrorist rule of Hamas”, where “Hamas” accused the American envoy Steve Witakouf of “violating the context, in which the last round of negotiations took place”, and that comes “in the context of serving the Israeli position.”
Trump told journalists at the White House before leaving to Scotland: “(Hamas) did not really want to conclude an agreement. I think they want to die. This is very dangerous. ” He added, “We have now reached the last hostage, and they know what will happen after the last hostage is restored. For this reason, in particular, they did not want any agreement. ”
On Thursday, Witkev announced that Washington had withdrew its negotiators from the two weeks of Doha talks with Qatari, American and Egyptian mediation, accusing the “Hamas movement” of not acting “in good faith.”
