There has been talk today of a possible breakthrough that could lead to the resumption of talks between Israel and Hamas over another ceasefire, but nothing has been formally announced. Over the weekend, Hamas said it supports the push to bring the conflict before the International Criminal Court, a move that could expose both Hamas and Israel to probes into possible war crimes. Hamas official Mushir al-Masri said Israel has more to fear than Hamas does.

Mushir al-Masri: “There is nothing to fear. The Palestinian factions are leading a legitimate resistance in keeping with all international laws and standards. All the nations resisted occupation. We are in a state of self-defense.”
