Gaza Strip - Recent Hamas rejected the temporary ceasefire and hostage swap deal, saying that it does not mention Israel withdrawing from the Gaza Strip, according to the China Media Group (CMG) on Friday night. Osama Hamdan, a Hamas politburo member, said the deal is impractical and not serious, and the related discussions are not logical. The senior Hamas official noted the deal from the four-party talks has not met the original requirement, which is a complete ceasefire by Israel and a complete halt of aggression towards Palestinian people. The Israeli troops need to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, he said. Hamdan emphasized if the talks have taken Hamas' demand seriously, Hamas is open to a subsequent proposal, otherwise it is a waste of time. David Barnea, chief of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, on Friday told the relatives of Israeli hostages that Hamas did not turn down Egypt's proposal and is expected to respond to it next week. Representatives from Qatar, Egypt, the United States, and Israel gathered in Doha for peace talks this week. Several rounds of talks in this regard have been held in Doha and Cairo over the past months but failed to produce any serious agreements to end the year-long conflict. Israel demands to maintain military presence in areas such as the Philadelphi Corridor in southern Gaza, while Hamas has repeatedly emphasized that Israel must cease military actions and fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
