Hamas Rebukes Biden's Gaza Ceasefire Remarks

Hamas has criticized U.S. President Joe Biden's comments that suggested the group was backing away from a Gaza ceasefire with Israel. Biden's remarks came after a speech in Chicago, claiming Hamas's position had shifted. Hamas maintains its desire for peace, criticizing new conditions imposed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Hamas has openly criticized President Joe Biden's recent comments indicating the Palestinian group was withdrawing from a Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel, calling them 'misleading'.

In a statement, Biden said that while Israel appeared prepared to secure a deal, Hamas seemed to be reconsidering. His remarks followed a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently in Cairo seeking progress on a ceasefire and possible hostage releases, as proposed bridging measures aim to reconcile differences between Israel and Hamas.
