GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Spokesman for Hamas Movement, Hazem Qassem, has said that the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip reflects contempt for the efforts of mediators and disregard for what is called the “Peace Council.”
Qassem said in a press statement on Thursday, “The continued martyrdom of Palestinians as a result of relentless Israeli bombardment across the Gaza Strip demonstrates the occupation’s blatant disregard for mediators’ efforts and its disrespect of the Peace Council and its role.”
He pointed out that “the occupation persists in its war of extermination and destruction against the Palestinian people,” stressing that what has changed is only the form and method, which indicates that the guarantor states’ talk of ending the war lacks any real substance on the ground.
Despite the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025, Israel has committed hundreds of violations through shelling and gunfire, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and wounded.
Israel commits daily violations despite the US announcement in mid-January of the start of the second phase of the agreement. Palestinians have called for compelling Israel to cease fire and to pressure it to fulfill the agreement’s provisions, allowing the agreed quantities of food, relief, medical supplies, and shelter materials such as tents and mobile homes to enter.
