Negotiations with Israel pointless while Gaza faces famine and genocide, says Hamas

Hamas has declared that negotiations with Israel are pointless as long as Gaza faces famine and genocide. Khalil al-Hayya, a top Hamas official, stated that Israel's withdrawal from talks indicates a preference for genocide over peace. He emphasized that the entry of food and medicine into Gaza is crucial for the continuation of negotiations. Hamas expressed surprise at Israel's departure from negotiations, viewing it as a tactic to waste time and escalate the conflict.
