Press TV blurb:

Hamas chief Haniyeh says Palestinians forced ceasefire upon Israeli regime

The leader of the Hamas resistance movement says Palestinians have forced Israel into accepting the group’s terms for a ceasefire agreement, vowing resistance fighters will continue to fight to liberate their lands.

Speaking on Friday, Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh said the resistance managed to confront the occupation, break its will, and thwart its plan to get back its captives through genocide. 

“The enemy has bet on restoring the captives by means of guns, killing, and genocide. But after nearly 50 days, the enemy has bowed to the conditions of resistance and our brave people’s willpower,” Haniyeh said.

The Palestinian leader said the group is prepared to continue confronting the Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip after the truce.

He vowed that Hamas would not vacate its positions in Gaza and refuse any “external interference” in the way the territory will be run in the future.

In his remarks, Haniyeh said the movement is committed to the truce and swap deal as long as the regime adheres to it.
