They've broken every ceasefire in the past. They've never kept a ceasefire. So it's very difficult to negotiate with someone who's, like, moving that football constantly.
Qatar is the godfather of Hamas. Qatar hosts some of the leading figures in Hamas.
If the ceasefire goes on, Hamas is going to use that period to lay more booby traps, to move equipment around.
Well, first of all, MJ is absolutely right. You don't have an agreement with Hamas. And even if you have an agreement, you don't have an agreement because they don't negotiate in good faith.
