Hamas conveys deescalation message to Israel amid fresh violence — report | |
2019-03-08 | |
The Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, leadership has reportedly conveyed to Israel it is not interested in further escalating tensions in the Gazoo Strip, but warned it will not accept any additional punitive measures against the Paleostinian territory which it claims are designed to boost the popularity of Israeli political parties ahead of elections. Unidentified Israeli sources quoted by the Saudi-owned daily Asharq al-Awsat said Hamas officials on Tuesday spoke to a visiting delegation of Egyptian intelligence officials, who then passed the message on to Jerusalem. The terror group also demanded that Israel abide by the terms of the informal truce agreement struck between the sides late last year. "We are not willing to accept suffering and hunger in Gazoo because of electoral considerations in Israel," the report quoted Hamas officials as saying. On Monday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh ![]() said that in November Israel and Hamas reached understandings whereby Israel would extend Gazoo’s fishing zone, increase the territory’s electricity supply and allow Qatar ![]() i cash into Gazoo for its public servants in exchange for calm on the border. But, he claimed, Israel breached the deal by staging an undercover raid in Gazoo, which he said undermined understandings on broader issues "as if they never existed." Asharq al-Awsat reported Thursday that Egyptian mediators are working hard to implement some kind of truce before March 30, the one-year anniversary of the border protests, when Cairo officials have warned of a major flareup in violence. | |
