No, Of Course Hamas Didn't Accept A Ceasefire

Hamas

Hamas accepted a ceasefire!
Hamas accepted a ceasefire!
Hamas accepted a ceasefire!

Well actually Spain is denying the report while Hamas officials are insisting that they won't give up their tunnels, that they still have reservations, and that any ceasefire would have to proceed in a way that would straightforwardly endanger Israeli soldiers and civilians:

Deputy Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau Moussa Abu Marzouk told the al-Arabiya television network earlier Wednesday that the IDF must hold its fire before it pulls out from the Strip. "Israel did not abide by any of the previous truce's conditions, and therefore there must be a short and pre-defined period between each stage, that would allow us to evaluate the situation and agree to move on to the next stage," he explained.

But wouldn't it be cool if reality was the opposite of all that?
