Hamas acknowledges receiving "assurances that the war is over"
US, Arab and Turkish mediators have given them assurances of an end to the war, as explained by Khalil Al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official and member of the negotiating team.
The head of the Hamas negotiating team, Khalil Al-Hayya, has stated that "themediators of the United States, Arab countries and Turkey have given them assurances "that" the war is really over. "
In a televised speech, he said that they would continue to work to "complete the remaining steps" of the peace plan and "achieve the interests and self-determination" of the Palestinian people until an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital was established.
He has also stressed that Palestine's "interests" have taken precedence at the negotiating table "despite attempts to thwart Israeli tensions and mediation."
In this regard, he has stressed that theIsraeli authorities "have violated previous agreements, but thistime has had to accept the truce under pressure of resistance and popular firmness. "
Al-Hayya has explained that the agreement to "end the war" will begin with a "permanent" ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, the opening of the Rafah crossing in both directions and the exchange of prisoners.
This exchange includes, together with 250 prisoners serving life sentences in Israel, the release of all 1700 prisoners and all children and women detained in Gaza from 7 October 2023.
Israel and Hamas sign a peace agreement in Gaza in the first phase of the initiative promoted by US President Donald Trump. The agreement reached provides for the cessation of fighting, the partial withdrawal of Israel from the Gaza Strip and the release of the 48 hostages captured by Hamas in the attack that led to the genocide, in exchange for prisoners abducted by Israel.
