Hamas official says committed to ceasefire

Izzat al-Risheq, member of the group's Political Bureau, affirmed the Palestinian movement's commitment to the ceasefire agreement. 

Izzat al-Rishq stressed that Israel "continues to violate the agreement and fabricate flimsy pretexts to justify its crimes."

"[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's attempts to evade and disavow his commitments come under pressure from his extremist terrorist coalition, in an attempt to evade his responsibilities to the mediators and guarantors," the Politburo added.
