On April 26 local time, Osama Hamdan, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), stated that as long as Israel continues its occupation of Palestine, Hamas will not abandon armed resistance. Osama indicated that Hamas proposed that all parties adhere to the ceasefire agreement reached in January of this year or reach a comprehensive ceasefire agreement to ensure the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, open the crossing ports connecting Gaza, and achieve a long-term ceasefire. In addition to this, Hamas will not respond to any ceasefire proposals that do not include a complete stop to Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, and Hamas does not accept Israel's so-called statements regarding the 'post-war Gaza,' but insists on demanding the expression that the Israeli army must 'stop aggression.'
