Razi Hamed, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, told the Qatari Al-Jazeera network that "our position is clear and up front. Occupying Israel must withdraw from the entire Gaza Strip. We are determined that troops withdraw completely from the Rafah crossing and the Philadelphi axis." According to Hamed, "the United States is complicit in the aggression and genocide in Gaza. She is not an honest mediator, and tries to push the parties to reach an agreement while taking into account the interests of the occupation."
