Hamas denies ceasefire deal
23/01/2005 11:41 - (SA)

Gaza City - The radical Islamist movement Hamas denied claims by Israel Sunday that it had reached an agreement for a ceasefire with new Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas.

"Mofaz's statement that we have reached a ceasefire is incorrect," Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP.

"Our position is that the Israeli occupation should first commit itself to a ceasefire. After that we have no objections about dealing with this subject positively."

Israel's defence minister Shaul Mofaz had earlier claimed that Abbas had secured a ceasefire deal with Hamas and its smaller rival Islamic Jihad during talks in Gaza City.
