Osama Hamdan, senior Hamas officialsaid on Saturday that there was no progress in ceasefire negotiations with Israel in the Gaza war.

The Palestinian group continues ready to have a “positive attitude” towards any proposal for a ceasefire end the war, Hamdan said at a press conference in Beirut.

Efforts by Arab mediators, backed by the United States, have so far failed to produce a ceasefire. Hamas says any agreement must end the war and include a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Israel says it will agree only to temporary breaks in fighting until Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007, is eradicated.

Hamdan also accused the United States of pressuring Hamas to accept Israel’s terms.

“Hamas is ready to accept any proposal that guarantees a ceasefire. constant“A complete withdrawal from Gaza and a serious exchange agreement,” Hamdan said, referring to a possible exchange of hostages held in Gaza for Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has so far killed nearly 38,000 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
