The Hamas spokesman insisted that the group “is ready to accept a peace agreement” based on the terms it announced on July 2, which are in line with the proposal publicly formulated by United States President Joe Biden late last month.
The Palestinian Movement Hamas announced this Saturday the shipment of a delegation to the capital of Egypt, Cairoscene of a crucial moment in the Gaza ceasefire talks, although he has made it clear that he does not intend to participate in the meeting and will limit himself to receiving the conclusions of the talks.
The announcement was made by the spokesman of the Palestinian movement, Izzat Al Rishq, who specified that the delegation, led by the vice president of the movement’s political wing, Jalil al Haya, will arrive tonight to the city to “listen to the results” of the negotiations.
The United States is participating in the talks (through Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns and National Security Council Middle East envoy Brett McGurk), as are Qatar and Egypt as hosts.
Earlier, Hamas had said it would not go to Cairo, calling for implementation of what had previously been agreed “rather than continuing with new rounds of negotiations.”
The Hamas spokesman insisted that the group “is ready to accept a peace agreement” based on the terms it announced on July 2, which are in line with the proposal publicly formulated by the US president late last month. United, Joe Biden is close to the movement, according to a statement obtained by the Palestinian newspaper “Filastin.”
Biden’s announced ceasefire plan is structured around three phases, the first of which would last six weeks. During this period, Israeli troops would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza and several Palestinian prisoners would be released in exchange for the provision of vulnerable hostages.
In a second phase, the remaining hostages would be released, in the context of an already definitive end to hostilities, while the third and final phase would consist of the beginning of the reconstruction of the Strip and the delivery of the bodies of those kidnapped and already deceased.
However, Israel’s future presence in Gaza has become a major obstacle to negotiations, especially in the so-called Philadelphia corridor of the city of Rafah, located on the Palestinian side of the Gaza Strip-Egypt border.
The corridor is the name by which the approximately 14-kilometer-long strip of land that runs along the border is known, the Palestinian side of which was controlled by the Palestinian Authority under the 2005 Disengagement Plan and the Egyptian side of which was controlled by Cairo.
