Hamas satisfied with guarantees in proposed agreement but concerned about humanitarian aid and IDF withdrawal
Hamas expressed satisfaction Wednesday with the final offer of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and a prisoner exchange, delivered through Egyptian and Qatari mediators. According to sources, the movement has begun internal consultations with the aim of reaching an agreement that will end the war. The Hamas statement stated that national consultations will be held to reach an agreement that will ensure an end to “aggression,” Israel’s withdrawal, and the transfer of emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza. It was also noted that the mediators are making intensive efforts to reconcile positions and reach a framework agreement that will open a serious round of negotiations.
