Hamas politburo member Basem Naim reiterated on Saturday that the militant group is ready to abandon its governance role in Gaza.
"We have said many times, even before October 7 [2023], that we are willing immediately to leave the governing position in the Gaza Strip and to allow any Palestinian unity government or a technocratic government or any alternative which is decided by Palestinians within the Palestinian consensus," he told Al Jazeera.
He added that the Israeli government is playing "dirty games" and rejecting to engage in talks about the second phase of the ceasefire deal.
