Hamas official Osama Hamdan said on Thursday there has been no progress in Gaza ceasefire talks despite the movement showing flexibility.
Hamdan said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was placing obstacles hindering both parties from reaching an agreement, and that he is "not interested" in releasing Israeli hostages.
"The occupation government is still evading, and negotiations are stuck in a vicious circle", Hamdan said at a press conference held in Beirut.
In the mouths of the leaders of Banda, the term flexibility doesn't exactly have the meaning it's given elsewhere.
The movement tries to demonstrate its openness and good intentions.
Hamas has kidnapped more than a hundred civilians it has been holding hostage for 6 months.
Its militants have taken the civilian population in Gaza hostage.
Despite its military setbacks, there's no question of giving in. This is the logic of this terrorist movement.
