Hamas Rejects Interim Israeli Truce Proposals, Seeks Comprehensive and Full End to War
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hamas is calling for "comprehensive" ceasefire negotiations to
definitively end the war on Gaza, including a full captives swap, as it
rejected an Israeli interim proposal.

Khalil al-Hayya: "Netanyahu and his government use partial agreements as
a cover for their political agenda, which is based on continuing the war
of extermination and starvation. Even if the price is sacrificing all
his hostages, we will not be part of passing this policy."
