Hamas welcomes US-Iran deal to end the war
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on Monday hailed a deal between the United States and Iran, expressing hope it would help put an end to violence in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, Hamas said it “welcomes the announced agreement on the memorandum of understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States,” congratulating Iran for its “steadfastness… in the face of pressures and challenges.”
“We hope that this agreement will serve as a step to contribute to enhancing regional stability and positively reflect on various regional files, foremost the immediate cessation of the ongoing Zionist aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and an end to the repeated attacks and violations against Lebanon and all other fronts,” it added.
At least 992 Palestinians have been martyred in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on October 10 last year, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
