Hamas has rejected a plan by Israel's foreign ministry to deploy international troops in the Gaza Strip, a media report said Sunday.

"Hamas will deal with any international troops as a new occupation force," the Jerusalem Post quoted Hamas representative Ismail Radwan as saying.

"The international parties should work toward lifting the siege and occupation instead of talking about the weapons of the resistance," he said.

According to a media report, Israel has proposed a plan to deploy international troops to supervise the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and disarmament of terror groups there.
