Hamas reaffirms rejection of any deal with Israel without demands being met

Hamas reiterated its rejection on Saturday for any hostage deal without Israel first meeting a series of the terror organization's demands.

"We affirm our national position that there will be no agreement or exchange deal with the occupation except with a comprehensive cessation of aggression, the return of the displaced, full [Israeli] withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, provision of shelter and reconstruction, stopping the siege, opening crossings, and delivering aid," Hamas wrote.
