The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas continues to exert efforts to put an end to the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Palestinian people and their holy sites, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with all means possible. 

In this context, we confirm that no truce has been reached with the Israeli occupation; all Arabic and Hebrew media reports in this regard are baseless. 

We renew our call for Palestinian citizens of the West Bank and the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 to maintain their presence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

Restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation on the Palestinian people will not deter them from protecting their holy sites. 

The Palestinian people and resistance in all fields are always ready to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
