Hamas says will fight on unless demands met

BEIRUT-Hamas will fight on in Gaza against an Israeli offensive unless its demands are met, the Islamist group said on Saturday, indicating it would ignore a unilateral ceasefire if declared by the Jewish state. Speaking in Beirut, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan, told a forum, "Today the movement's delegation arrives in Cairo. And clearly, we have nothing new to offer...Either we hear what we have demanded or the result will be the continuation of confrontation on the ground."Israel is weighing a unilateral ceasefire three weeks into its onslaught against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 1,150 Palestinians and wounded over 5,000.
