The Hamas terrorist group on Sunday announced that it will not attend a final round of negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release agreement set for this Thursday.
Israel immediately accepted last week’s invitation by the United States, Egypt and Qatar to attend the meeting, which is to take place in either Cairo or Doha. Despite Hamas deciding not to send representatives to the talks, the mediators are still planning on holding them, Kan News reported.
In its official statement, Hamas said, “The movement calls on the mediators to present a plan to implement what was agreed upon by the movement on July 2, 2024, based on [President Joe] Biden’s vision and the U.N. Security Council resolution.”
The statement went on to say that the mediators “should enforce this on the occupation [Israel] instead of pursuing further rounds of negotiations or new proposals that would provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and grant it more time to continue its genocide against our people.”
