June 13 (UPI) -- Militant group Hamas on Thursday called on mediators to save the Gaza truce that was brokered in May, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Khalil al-Haya, a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip, called for Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations to preserve the May agreement between Hamas and Israel, which was brokered by Egyptian mediators. The calls came ahead of a scheduled visit by Egyptian security officials to the Gaza Strip in search of a resolution.
