Gaza – Saba:
Khalil al-Hayya, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza and head of the negotiating delegation, said on Sunday that "as part of the efforts being made by our mediating brothers to achieve a ceasefire, the movement has been in contact with the US administration over the past few days."
Al-Hayya added in a statement that the movement "has shown great positivity, and the release of the Israeli soldier, who holds dual US citizenship, Idan Alexander, will be part of the steps being taken to achieve a ceasefire, open the crossings, and allow the entry of aid and relief to our people in the Gaza Strip."
He emphasized that the movement "is ready to immediately begin intensive negotiations and make serious efforts to reach a final agreement to end the war, exchange prisoners by mutual consent, and administer the Gaza Strip by an independent, professional body, ensuring continued calm and stability for many years, along with reconstruction and an end to the blockade."
Hamas leader explained that the movement "appreciates the tireless efforts made by the mediating brothers in the sisterly State of Qatar and the Arab Republic of Egypt, as well as the brothers in Turkey, throughout the past period."
