Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim has urged Hamas to be mindful of Benjamin Netanyahu's political situation in the lead-up to Israel's upcoming elections, amid ongoing attacks on Gaza. Naim emphasized that Hamas remains committed to a peace roadmap for Gaza and is willing to continue efforts for the people on the ground to revive their lives and achieve some level of calm and stability.

Naim also expressed Israel's failure to meet their obligations under the ceasefire agreement, and highlighted the continued Israeli airstrikes and restrictions on aid and assistance entering Gaza.
