Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has blamed Israel for stalling ceasefire talks and rejecting Hamas' demand to end the war in Gaza.
In a televised address, he said Israel had not yet made a commitment to end its military offensive, withdraw its forces and allow displaced Palestinians to return to their homes along the Gaza Strip.
" We do not want an agreement that does not end the war in Gaza. The enemy still refuses to give clear guarantees and commitments on the issue of a ceasefire and the cessation of aggressive war against our people," he said.
He further added that if Israel received a clear position from the mediators, Hamas was ready to proceed with the completion of the agreement and show flexibility on the prisoner exchange issue.
Everyone hoped that with the start of the holy month of Ramadan, an agreement could be reached between the parties, but so far things seem a long way off.
