Hamas has criticized Israel's military plans to conquer Gaza City, calling it a 'blatant disregard' for ongoing truce and hostage release negotiations. In a statement, Hamas condemned the announcement of a new operation targeting Gaza City and its nearly one million residents, arguing that it undermines the efforts of mediators seeking a ceasefire.
Recently, Hamas accepted a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of hostages, while Israel is still considering the offer. The situation remains tense as both sides weigh their next moves amid international calls for a resolution.
