Mediators aren’t currently in talks with the Palestinian movement Hamas on the second phase of a ceasefire deal for the Gaza Strip, which was expected to begin on March 2, Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qassem said, APA reports citing TASS.
"The first phase of the ceasefire deal, signed by the resistance and mediators, ends today. Talks on the second phase were expected to kick off on the 16th day of the ceasefire but it did not happen because of Israel’s position who had repeatedly violated the agreement," he told Qatar’s Al Araby TV channel. "There are currently no talks with Hamas on the matter, and there is no interaction with regard to the second phase," Qassem added.
He stressed that Hamas remained committed to the three-phase Gaza ceasefire deal.
