Hamas announced that Israel refused a proposed ceasefire agreement involving the unconditional release of all captives held within Gaza.
This comprehensive deal, offered by Hamas, aimed to resolve the conflict and secure the freedom of all prisoners.
Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida stated that Israel's rejection demonstrates a lack of genuine interest in resolving the conflict peacefully.
Consequently, Hamas has vowed to continue fighting if Israel doesn't engage in meaningful negotiations for a lasting peace agreement.
