The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has warned that it could respond to the Israeli regime’s continued violations of a ceasefire deal between Tel Aviv and the group.

Osama Hamdan, Hamas’ senior representative in Lebanon, made the remarks on Monday, the Palestinian Shehab news agency reported.

“Israel is deliberately obstructing the process of aid delivery [into the Gaza Strip] and resettlement of Gaza’s people,” he said.

“We have a committee that monitors the entry of aid into Gaza, but the occupiers are intentionally creating obstacles,” Hamdan lamented.

According to the official, if the opposing side continued to fail to fulfill its commitments, Hamas would proceed with its “own actions.”

Hamdan said it had conveyed the issue of the Israeli contraventions to Qatar and Egypt, who have helped mediate the ceasefire agreement.

The deal is hoped to end the Israeli regime’s 15-month-long war of genocide against the Gaza Strip that has so far killed way upwards of 47,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Regional media outlets have, since the initiation of implementation of the first phase of the deal in January, reported numerous instances of its violation by the regime, saying it regularly renews its attacks on the coastal sliver in a manner that conjures up memories of the ferocious onslaught.

The mediators, however, have told Hamas that “certain measures” would be taken to pressure the occupier into adhering to the agreement, Hamdan said, adding that details of those measures would be revealed on Tuesday.

The Palestinian official, meanwhile, said the second phase of pending talks on implementation of a second phase of captive/prisoner exchange between the movement and Tel Aviv were “very important.”

The importance, he said, lied in the fact that the second stage would address all categories of Palestinian prisoners, including those who have been sentenced to life imprisonment, those with heavy sentences, prisoners belonging to the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, and those who have been abducted by the regime from Gaza since its October 7, 2023 launch of the genocide.
