CAIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Hamas accepts a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and is ready to negotiate over the details, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that it was up to Washington to ensure that Israel abides by it.

Hamas accepts the UN security council resolution in regard to the ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops and swap of hostages for detainees held by Israel, he said.

“The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the UN Security Council resolution,” Abu Zuhri said.

      Israel vows to press on in Gaza after UN Security Council approves ceasefire proposal

      I suppose that’s the answer to your question.

      From the article:

      Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.

      The senior diplomat said the war would not end until all hostages were returned and Hamas’ capabilities were “dismantled,” accusing the Palestinian militant group of using “endless negotiations… as a means to stall for time.”

        There’s conflicting narratives coming out of Israel again. It’s fully possible they tank this, but I wouldn’t take those comments from the UN rep as a rejection of this deal (yet).

          Sounds like leadership that can’t lead and is simply trying to cater for internal needs while maintaining some form of power.

          “Yes Mr right wing, we’ll kill them all”

          " Yes Mr left wing we’ll agree to a ceasefire"
