Hamas denies Netanyahu's claims, says committed to Gaza ceasefire deal

ANKARA: The Palestinian resistance group Hamas denied on Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims about reneging on a ceasefire deal announced by mediators, stressing its commitment to the agreement, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

"Hamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement announced by the mediators," senior group leader Izzat al-Rishq said in a statement.

Netanyahu's office said early Thursday that the Cabinet would not convene to ratify the ceasefire deal until Hamas approved the agreement announced by mediators.

Israel's Security Cabinet was scheduled to meet on Thursday to ratify the deal.
