Report: Sinwar saying Hamas will only attend talks if Israel stops its military campaign in Gaza

Mediators in Gaza ceasefire talks have reportedly said Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is demanding that Israel halt its military operations in the Strip as a precondition for the Palestinian terror group participating in this week’s talks, which Hamas has said publicly it will not attend.

The Wall Street Journal report acknowledges, however, that Jerusalem is unlikely to accept that demand as it seeks to pressure Hamas to compromise by relentlessly pursuing its stated war goal of eliminating the group’s military and governing capabilities.
