Hamas accuses Israel of agreement violations, cites numerous breaches

Shafaq News/ On Monday, Hamas accusedIsrael of breaching the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, claiming these"violations" demonstrate Israel's intent to undermine the deal andavoid fulfilling its obligations.

In a statement, Hamas charged Israelwith not adhering to the ceasefire terms since they came into effect on January19, pointing to continued violations in several areas, including humanitarianaid, housing, field operations, gunfire, delays in the release of prisoners,and the closure of border crossings.

    Hamas emphasized that Israel hasprevented the entry of 50 fuel trucks per day as stipulated in the agreement,allowing only 978 trucks over 42 days, or 23 trucks per day. Additionally,Israel has obstructed the entry of heavy machinery to clear rubble andessential medical supplies for hospital rehabilitation, while also continuingto block the Rafah crossing and halting the resumption of goods movement.

    On the ground, Hamas reported thatIsraeli forces continued to advance beyond agreed-upon withdrawal lines,particularly in the Philadelphia Corridor, exceeding the agreed distance by 300to 500 meters, resulting in casualties.

    Furthermore, Israeli aircraftcontinued to fly during restricted periods, causing 962 violations, includingattacks on civilians, gunfire, and repeated shelling.

    The Palestinian movement alsoaccused Israel’s government of delaying the release of Palestinian prisoners atall stages, despite the agreement mandating their release within one hour after handing over occupation detainees. The statement noted that Israel had refused to release thefinal batch of 600 prisoners from the first stage and even forced some releaseddetainees to wear clothes bearing Nazi and racist symbols.

    Hamas held Israel fully responsiblefor delaying the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and warned thatcontinued violations could jeopardize the future of the ceasefire.

    The movement called on theinternational community and mediators to "pressure Israel to comply withthe terms of the agreement, advance to the second phase, and move toward apermanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza,” emphasizingthe need to provide humanitarian aid and lift the blockade on the besiegedenclave.

    Hamas further stated that anyattempts by Israel to evade its commitments or alter the agreement wouldconstitute a clear violation of international accords, holding Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu responsible for any potential escalation.

    The statement concluded by assertingthat the only way to secure the release of detainees is through full adherenceto the agreement and immediate negotiations for the second phase, warning that international peace and stability were at risk due to unconditionalUS support for Israel and the globalsilence over Israel’s ongoing violations.
