Hamas wants to escalate tensions, Hezbollah raids deep into Israeli territory

According to Reuters, on April 23, Mr. Abu Obeida, spokesman for the armed wing of Hamasaccused Tel Aviv of not showing willingness to negotiate and called for escalation on all fronts targeting Israel.

“Iran’s large-scale airstrike on April 13 created new rules, confusing the enemy and its backers. We need to escalate activities targeting Israel in the West Bank and Jordan, because this is one of the most important Arab fronts,” Mr. Obeida said.

In his statement, Mr. Obeida also emphasized that Hamas will not give in to its demands in the negotiations, that Israel must completely withdraw its troops from Gaza and allow residents to return home.

“Israel is the side that is delaying the hostage exchange agreement, and is hindering the efforts of intermediaries to reach a ceasefire,” Mr. Obeida said.

Previously, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one of the negotiating intermediaries, commented that both Israel and Hamas “did not show seriousness in dialogue”. For this reason, efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and release the hostages have not yet been successful.
