Israel is trying to undermine Gaza ceasefire talks: Hamas spokesperson

Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan has accused Israel of trying to undermine the ceasefire negotiations, while mediators work to "bridge the gaps".

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Hamdan said Hamas does not have a clear picture of the status of the talks, but the group's officials believe Israel is not contributing positively.

“Mediators are still talking about bridging the gaps, but it is clear that the Israeli side is adding more conditions, talking about new issues,” said Hamdan. 

He said that Hamas would be ready to take part in the negotiations if Israel had shown any “positive signals”.
