Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said Sunday the Palestinian resistance movement was still open to talks with Israel, after mediators have so far failed to secure a Ramadan truce in the Gaza war.
"I say clearly that the one who bears responsibility for not reaching an agreement is the occupation (Israel)... However, I say that we are open to continuing negotiations," Haniyeh said in a televised speech as Muslim nations announced the start of the fasting month.
