Al-Masri reiterated that Hamas is ready to defend the Palestinian nation with all the means in its access.
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Hamas official underlined that the Palestinian resistance movement has no plans to achieve a ceasefire with Israel, stressing that Tel Aviv itself should end the war that it has started.
“There are no new and real efforts to have a ceasefire with Israel,” the Palestinian news website Palestine Al-Youm quoted Mushir Al-Masri as saying on Saturday.
He noted that Israel is the one that has begun its attacks against the Palestinian nation and it should end it itself.
Al-Masri reiterated that Hamas is ready to defend the Palestinian nation with all the means in its access.
The Israeli army has set the 19:00 on Saturday as deadline for the Palestinian resistance groups to stop launching missile attacks on Israel and if they fail to do so, Israel will begin its military operations against the Palestinian resistance groups.
The Western media, including BBC, had reported that Egypt has mediated for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
The resistance movement had said Israel is trying to sabotage the recent reconciliation accord reached between the Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah, which led to the formation of the Palestinian national unity government earlier this month.
