The Palestinian militant group Hamas said Thursday it was committed to the ongoing cease-fire in Gaza, as negotiators push to overcome an impasse regarding the implementation of the agreement.
"We are keen to implement it [the cease-fire] and oblige the occupation to fully abide by it. Mediators are pressuring [Israel] to complete the full implementation of the agreement, oblige the occupation to abide by the humanitarian protocol and resume the exchange process on Saturday," a Hamas spokesperson said in a statement.
