Media earlier claimed the Palestinian militant group had told the US the truce with Israel was over\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reports that Hamas is ready to resume military operations in Gaza are fake, a member of the movement\u2019s political bureau said on Saturday. He went on to accuse Israel of fabricating the claims.\u00a0
\nAccording to earlier media reports, the Palestinian militant group told US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza had ended, citing repeated violations by Israel.
\n\u201cReports from Israeli sources that Hamas informed Witkoff the agreement had ended are false,\u201d Izzat Al-Rishq said, according to several Middle East media outlets.\u00a0
\n\u201cIsrael is reportedly manufacturing pretexts to evade the agreement and return to a campaign of destruction. It is the party that systematically breaches the ceasefire on a daily basis,\u201d the official claimed.
\nThe agreement, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh by Trump and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and T\u00fcrkiye, is aimed at halting hostilities in Gaza following months of intense fighting. The peace deal called for Israel to withdraw from parts of the enclave and for Hamas to release 20 Israeli hostages in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday that West Jerusalem\u00a0 had conducted strikes in Gaza, killing five Hamas officials. He claimed that the strikes were in response to a breach of the truce by Hamas \u2013 a claim the group has denied.
\nIn its latest statement, Hamas reportedly called on mediators and the US administration to intervene and ensure that Israel abides by the terms of the agreement.
\nAt least 342 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza since the ceasefire came into force, according to local officials.
\nIsrael launched its military campaign in the Palestinian enclave in response to a surprise attack by Hamas in October 2023, which killed 1,200 people and took 250 others hostage. The Hamas-run Gaza health authorities report that the ensuing Israeli operations have killed more than 69,500 Palestinians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
