#BREAKING: HAMAS POLITICAL BUREAU MEMBER IZZAT AL-RISHQ STATEMENT
A permanent ceasefire is the only guarantee to protect our people and stop the bloodshed and massacres.
There is no concession on complete withdrawal and the free return of the displaced.
Attempts by Netanyahu and his government to release the prisoners by force have failed, and there is no alternative to a real [exchange] deal with the resistance.
The occupation wants a temporary agreement to release its prisoners, after which the war and genocide will resume.
After more than six months, the occupation is still floundering and has not and will not achieve any victory.
The occupation's targeting of civilians and all aspects of civilian life are signs of defeat, not preludes to victory.
“Israel” is a pariah, and international public opinion supports our people and their just cause.
