Hamas Response Details

A source in the Palestinian resistance movement "Hamas" confirmed to "Arabi Post" that "the response submitted by the movement to Egypt and Qatar included substantial amendments to the Paris framework agreement." The source emphasized that the movement "indicated in its response that it views positively a proposal that leads to a comprehensive ceasefire and the complete lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip." The same source noted that the Paris framework agreement "aims to hand over the Israeli captives held by the resistance without payment in exchange for allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip." However, it "did not include any commitments to ceasefire or temporary truce." Additionally, the source explained in his discussion with the site that "the proposal did not include the return of displaced persons to northern Gaza and freedom of movement, which is a condition strongly upheld by the movement." The source also pointed out that the amendments requested by the movement, in consultation with resistance factions, "include timelines with specific numbers related to the ceasefire, withdrawal of mechanisms from the Strip, return of the displaced to their areas, reconstruction, and allowing the travel of the injured."
