**Gaza Strip, December 25, 2024** – Hamas announced today that the finalization of a ceasefire agreement with Israel has been delayed due to new conditions imposed by the Israeli government. While negotiations, mediated by Qatar and Egypt in Doha, are ongoing, Hamas stated that these new demands concerning troop withdrawal, ceasefire terms, prisoner exchange, and the return of displaced Palestinians, have stalled the process. The statement emphasized that talks are continuing seriously. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to impact the lives of Palestinians, as evidenced by images of a man repairing bicycles in the Bureij refugee camp.
