[Hamas: Peace Committee Should Stop Israel's Violations of Ceasefire Agreement] Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasim said on the 17th that the so-called "Peace Committee" initiated by the United States should take action to stop Israel's violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. In a video statement, Qasim said that the situation in Gaza over the past few months shows that Israel "has only changed its means and methods," and that its "war against Palestinians in Gaza continues, and the killings, displacement, sieges, and famine in Gaza have not yet stopped." Hamas called on the "Peace Committee" to "implement its slogans and principles for achieving peace in Gaza" at its upcoming meeting and to take concrete action to stop Israel's violations of the ceasefire agreement. Qasim also said that the "Peace Committee" should begin supporting the Palestinian Technical Bureau Committee's entry into Gaza to facilitate relief and reconstruction efforts. (Xinhua)
