Israel working to obstruct agreement on ceasefire, Hamas official says

A Hamas source has spoken to Al Jazeera on the current round of talks held in Doha, Qatar.

Here are his translated comments:

• The occupation continues to evade and obstruct and insists on adding new conditions to obstruct the agreement
• The new US proposal responds to the conditions of the occupation and aligns with them
• We reaffirm our commitment to what we agreed to on July 2, based on the Biden declaration and the UN Security Council resolution
• We call on the mediators to pressure the occupation and oblige it to implement what was agreed upon
• Any agreement must ensure the cessation of aggression against our people and the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip
• Any agreement must also include providing urgent relief and a genuine prisoner exchange deal
