Hamas chief says any agreement that excludes ceasefire is 'not an agreement'

Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, issued a statement on Tuesday following the recent death of his sister, saying any deal that does not guarantee a ceasefire and an end to Israel's offensive in Gaza was "not an agreement".

"If [Israel] thinks targeting my family will change our position or that of the resistance, they are delusional," the statement said.
