Hamas can not consent to an agreement that does not include permanent ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal: Official says

Hamas official Osama Hamdan said on Tuesday that the movement cannot agree to an agreement that does not guarantee a clear Israeli position on a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal from Gaza.

He explained in a press conference in Beirut, "Without a clear position from Israel to prepare for a permanent cessation of the war and withdrawal from Gaza, there will be no agreement."
