Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of ignoring international mediation efforts aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza. The group said Netanyahu is instead pressing forward with Israel’s military occupation of Gaza City, which has resulted in mounting casualties and destruction.
The accusation comes amid renewed diplomatic attempts by regional and global mediators to broker an agreement that could halt the conflict. However, Hamas claims that Israel’s continued offensives signal a lack of commitment to peace negotiations.
Netanyahu’s government has maintained that its operations are necessary to dismantle Hamas’ military infrastructure and ensure Israel’s security, a stance that has drawn both domestic support and international criticism.
