Hamas has demanded Israel to stop its "aggression" first in order to reach a cease fire, according to its media spokesman Abdul Latif on Sunday.
Over the past week, the armed conflict between Israel and the Hamas-led militant groups in Gaza has been escalating, marking the fiercest fighting between the two sides since 2014.
The clashes have killed at least 190 Palestinians in Gaza and 10 people in Israel, while wounding over 1,500 others, including Palestinians and Israelis.
Talking with China Central Television over phone, Latif stressed it was the Israeli side that started the "aggression" and Hamas is just protecting its people.
"It is the [Israeli] occupiers who opened fire first and launched the war and aggression, which started in Sheikh Jarrah, in the square of the Old City, and in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
