In a dramatic twist in the Gaza conflict, a senior Hamas official, Sami Abu Zuhri, has sharply condemned the Israeli army's recent ground operation in central Gaza, calling it a significant breach of the January ceasefire agreement. 🚨
Abu Zuhri explained that the Israeli advance toward the Netzarim Corridor and the isolation of northern Gaza from the south—actions reportedly supported by the United States—are undermining the fragile ceasefire. He warned that Hamas and other Palestinian factions are prepared to respond, hinting at a potential escalation. ⚡
In addition, he criticized ongoing negotiations by stating, "there is no progress in contacts with mediators because the occupation refuses to engage in negotiations." He stressed that Hamas will not release the Israeli prisoners unless hostilities end, Israel fully withdraws from Gaza, and the blockade on the Strip is lifted.
This unfolding situation has raised concerns about what might come next as tensions continue to mount.
