As efforts continue for a ceasefire and the exchange of hostages its leader Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh said on Wednesdaywhat the team shows flexibility in negotiations with Israel, but at the same time it is ready to continue the fighting.

The two sides are negotiating a draft framework that reportedly includes a six-week ceasefire and the release of hostages held by Hamas as well as Palestinians by Israel.

He called on the Arab world to work to end the hunger in Gaza and the “axis of resistance” to step up efforts on behalf of the people of Gaza.

In a televised address from Beirut, Reuters reports that Haniyeh also called on Palestinians in Jerusalem and the Israeli-occupied West Bank to march to al-Aqsa mosque to pray on the first day of Ramadan.
