Haniya: We Are Keen on Reaching a Comprehensive and Interconnected Agreement

The head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniya, confirmed that "the movement is still keen on reaching a comprehensive and interconnected agreement that ends the aggression, ensures withdrawal, and achieves a serious prisoner exchange deal." Haniya emphasized that "the world has become a hostage to an extremist government that has a huge amount of political problems and crimes committed in Gaza." He mentioned that "to affirm the movement's seriousness and positivity before the current round of negotiations, it conducted a series of contacts with the intermediary brothers and with resistance factions, and held intensive meetings and consultations both domestically and abroad before sending the delegation to Cairo, carrying its positive and flexible positions, with the importance of emphasizing that the priority for the movement is to stop the aggression against our people, which is a fundamental and logical stance that lays the foundation for a more stable future, as what is the meaning of an agreement if a ceasefire is not its first result?"
