Israel’s assassination of a senior Hamas commander threatens the viability of the Gaza ceasefire, the chief negotiator of the Palestinian group said on Sunday, calling on US President Donald Trump to demand Israel comply with the terms of the truce.
Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, who lives in exile, confirmed the killing of Saed, the highest-profile assassination of a senior Hamas figure since the truce.
“The continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement […] and latest assassinations that targeted Saed and others threaten the viability of the agreement,” Hayya said.
“We call on mediators, and especially the main guarantor, the US administration and President Donald Trump, to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it.”
