Hamas has firmly denied reports of an imminent temporary ceasefire agreement with Israel, calling the claims “unfounded narratives.” Taher Al-Nunu, media adviser to Hamas’s political bureau chief, dismissed the possibility of a ceasefire deal, stating that Israel is attempting to create the impression of diplomatic progress where none exists.
Speaking on the Al-Hadath Al-Yawm channel, Al-Nunu claimed that Israeli leaders are pushing this narrative to influence both the U.S. election cycle and Israel’s own internal politics. He alleged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively working against any potential agreement, emphasizing that no serious proposals from Israel have been offered since Hamas’s initial conditions were presented in early July.
Israel, according to Al-Nunu, is trying to portray itself as advancing indirect talks, despite Hamas’s insistence that negotiations have not returned to previously discussed terms. The remarks come amid increasing scrutiny and tension in the region, as international calls for a ceasefire continue to mount.
