A member of Hamas' political bureau Izzet A-Rishak denied that the organization had agreed to a long-term humanitarian ceasefire in an interview with Arab media outlets. He said that, "This information is incorrect and Hamas is still committed to its public demands to reach a ceasefire."
A-Rishak was present Monday at a meeting between Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and head of Hamas' political bureau Khaled Meshal in Doha, Qatar.
