Hamas’s spokesperson has announced that talks on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal have begun, saying, “our priority is sheltering and aiding our people, as well as rebuilding Gaza.” In a statement on its official Telegram channel on Tuesday, the resistance group’s spokesperson Abdel Latif al-Qanoua accused Israel of “delaying the implementation of humanitarian protocols in the ceasefire agreement and stalling its execution.” “Shelter and humanitarian aid are urgent priorities that cannot be subject to Israeli delays,” he added.
