GAZA, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Hamas's leader in exile, Khaled Meshaal, said on Saturday that his group would not consider a Gaza ceasefire until Israel ends its 15-day-old military offensive and opens the coastal enclave's border crossings.

"Let Israel pull out first, let the aggression stop first, let the crossings open and then people can look into the issue of calm," said Meshaal, in a televised speech in Damascus, the Syrian capital.
