Hamas chief: Nuseirat attack intended to block ceasefire agreement

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, said that the Israeli attack on the Nuseirat camp, which killed almost 300 Palestinians, was intended to block any ceasefire agreement.

Haniyeh told Al Jazeera Arabic that the US role in the attack made the Biden administration "no less criminal" than Israeli leaders.

He added that Benny Gantz and Gadi Eiskenot had resigned from the Israeli war cabinet in order to "jump off the boat...before it sinks," and showed that the Israeli political system is on the brink of "collapse".

Furthermore, he said that Gantz, who is perceived as a centrist alternative to Netanyahu, is no different from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Both are murderers seeking destruction,” he said.
