Hamas criticizes U.S. envoy's comments on Gaza conflict

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem has criticized U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff for complicating ceasefire talks in Gaza. This follows Witkoff's statements during a CNN interview, where he urged Hamas to act "much more sensibly." He also referenced U.S. military actions in Yemen as demonstrations of America's stance on terrorism. In response, Qassem claimed that the U.S. is focused on threats rather than urging Israel to support peace efforts in the region. He dismissed Witkoff's comments as "empty threats," suggesting that they hinder the possibility of a resolution. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in significant casualties and heightened tensions. Recent airstrikes from Israel have led to numerous deaths, as both sides continue to grapple with the situation. Negotiations for a lasting ceasefire remain stalled, leaving many civilians in precarious circumstances. International responses to the conflict continue to evolve as the situation develops.
