He noted that "for 120 days, Israeli massacres supported by the United States have not stopped," and stated, "We have confirmed from the beginning that we are open to any initiatives to stop the aggression against our people." Hamdan mentioned, "We have received the proposed framework resulting from the Paris meeting," indicating that "our response to the proposal is based on stopping the aggression against our people and the withdrawal of the occupation from Gaza, while our response also emphasizes the entry of aid and reaching a fair exchange deal." He confirmed that "our priority today is to alleviate the suffering of Gaza through a comprehensive cessation of aggression," pointing out that "our response to the proposal regarding the ceasefire is based on stopping the aggression and the withdrawal of the occupation from Gaza."
