In a recent statement, Hamas expressed frustration with Israel’s stubborn approach towards negotiations, failing to respond to the demands put forth by Palestinians and the resistance. The resistance group emphasized its eagerness to reach a comprehensive agreement to end the Israeli ongoing aggression.
Despite Israel’s unyielding position, Hamas assured that its leadership is diligently reviewing a proposal with national responsibility. The mediators will be notified of the group’s response once this evaluation process is completed.
As negotiations continue, Israeli Channel 12 reported that the Israeli delegation, led by Mossad Chief David Barnea, is returning from Cairo, signaling a lack of progress. The discussions on Sunday revolved around a US-brokered proposal, which received support from key mediators including the head of the CIA. ‘Israel’ acknowledged the seriousness of the proposal but is yet to provide a response.
During a meeting with Egyptian Minister of Intelligence, Abbas Kamel, Hamas delegation reaffirmed their commitment to national demands within the ceasefire negotiations. This meeting followed the announcement that a high-level delegation, led by Khalil al-Hayya, was invited to Cairo for ceasefire talks.
Sources close to the matter described the recent hours as witnessing intense communication from the Egyptian side in Cairo, signaling a renewed effort to restart negotiations.
