Rome, Dec 25 (LaPresse) – Hamas accuses Israel of imposing new conditions that have delayed a truce agreement in Gaza and the release of hostages. ‘The ceasefire and prisoner exchange negotiations are proceeding in earnest in Doha, mediated by Qatar and Egypt. The movement has shown responsibility and flexibility, but the (Israeli) occupation has imposed new conditions that have led to the postponement of reaching an agreement. The postponement of reaching an agreement is due to the occupation's new conditions concerning the withdrawal (of Israeli troops), ceasefire, prisoners and the return of displaced persons,' Hamas is quoted by Arab media as saying.
