A Hamas leader, Ghazi Hamad, called on mediators to intervene immediately to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, following an escalation of occupation violations of the ceasefire agreement, which have resulted in the martyrdom of 19 citizens since Sunday morning. He affirmed that the Israeli shelling confirms that Israel does not want to reach an agreement, and that the movement has informed mediators that Israel is not interested in adhering to the understandings.

Ghazi Hamad, a leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), called on mediators to intervene immediately to stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, following an escalation of Israeli occupation violations of the ceasefire agreement, which have resulted in the martyrdom of 19 citizens since Sunday morning. In press statements, Hamad said that the Israeli shelling on the Gaza Strip confirms that "Israel" "does not want to reach an agreement," noting that the movement has informed mediators that "Israel" is not interested in adhering to the existing understandings. He added that Hamas has demanded that mediators take steps to pressure the Israeli occupation government to stop the escalation and implement the terms of the agreement. The movement's leader clarified that no Israeli position has reached Hamas so far regarding the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, stressing the need for "Israel" to implement its commitments before moving to the next phase of the agreement. This escalation comes amid continued Israeli shelling on the Strip, which threatens the stability of the fragile ceasefire agreement.
