Tehran, IRNA – Making a decision on stopping the war in Gaza is in the hands of the United States, a representative of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement in Lebanon says.

The US supports genocide and starvation against the Palestinian people, the news channel Al Mayadeen quoted Ahmad Abdel Hadi as saying early on Sunday.

Negotiations have reached a stage that clearly shows the enemy is not after achieving a deal, Hadi noted.

It is crystal clear that the resistance front wants to reach a deal that would lead to cessation of war, withdrawal of occupiers and reconstruction of Gaza, the Hamas representative added.

To retaliate against Hamas’s October 2023 unprecedented attack and to compensate for its defeat, the Israeli regime started bombarding Gaza. Since that date, over 32,000 Palestinians mostly women and children, have been killed there.

Many world countries and prominent figures have condemned Israel's genocidal war on Gaza and have called for an immediate truce in the enclave.
