Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh stated Friday that Palestinian resistance factions have knowledgeable mediators of their dedication to calls for for a cease-fire settlement with Israel.
During a speech on the Arab National Congress within the Lebanese capital of Beirut, Haniyeh stated that “concerning reports of a new Zionist stance on the hostages swap and cease-fire agreement, the resistance has reiterated to the mediators that the steadfast principles of the resistance factions cannot be compromised.”
That contains “halting perpetual aggression, the complete withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza, ending the blockade, facilitating reconstruction, and securing a dignified hostage swap deal — a journey toward realizing the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people for freedom, return, and independence,” he added.
Through the mediation of Qatar, Egypt, and the US, Hamas and Israel have been engaged in stalled oblique negotiations for months, aiming to achieve an settlement to swap hostages and finish the onslaught towards Gaza that erupted in early October.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza since an assault by Hamas on Oct. 7, regardless of a UN Security Council decision demanding an instantaneous cease-fire.
More than 36,200 Palestinians have since been killed in Gaza, the overwhelming majority being girls and kids, and almost 81,800 others injured, in response to native well being authorities.
Nearly eight months into the Israeli conflict, huge swathes of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of meals, clear water and drugs.
Israel is accused of genocide on the International Court of Justice, which in its newest ruling ordered it to right away halt its operation in Rafah, the place greater than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the conflict earlier than it was invaded on May 6.
