Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, warned on Tuesday that if Israel’s military aggression continues in Rafah, there will be no ceasefire deal, Reuters reports.

“We affirm that the military operation in Rafah, if carried out by Israel, will not be a picnic for the (Israeli) army,” Hamdan said.
“The ball is in Netanyahu’s court,” he added, saying that the latest ceasefire proposal which Hamas agreed to “represents the minimum that responds to the demands of our people and our resistance.”
Israeli forces seized the main border crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza earlier on Tuesday, shutting down a vital aid route into the Palestinian enclave that is already on the brink of famine.
“The Rafah Crossing was and will remain a purely Egyptian-Palestinian crossing,” Hamdan said.
 Indonesia has condemned the Israeli military attack in the Palestinian city of Rafah and the forced takeover of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed in a statement on X that any attempt to forcibly transfer or expel Palestinians, including from Rafah, was unacceptable and amounted to the ultimate crime against humanity.
The Israeli military seized the only border crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza on Tuesday morning, May 7, cutting off a vital aid route to Palestine already on the brink of famine.
