Hamas announced its refusal of all Israeli demands for disarmament and withdrawal from the Gaza sector. The movement hinted that it was not planning to concede, despite pressures from Israel.
As representatives of Hamas indicated, they are determined to preserve their armed forces and continue the struggle for the liberation of Palestinian territories. According to them, only with the help of resistance can freedom and independence be achieved.
After the hostilities between Hamas and Israel, the leaders of the movement strengthened their position, stating that they do not plan to abandon their ideals. At the same time, they expressed readiness for dialogue and negotiations, but without any preconditions from Israel.
