Hamas: Initiatives actively being pursued to eliminate any barriers hindering the execution of the ceasefire agreement

The resistance movement announced on Thursday that the most recent negotiations held in Cairo have yielded positive results, with efforts actively being made to eliminate any remaining obstacles to the implementation of the agreement.

In a statement, it was announced that discussions took place in a constructive environment, with mediation efforts led by Egyptian and Qatari representatives who emphasized their dedication to overcoming challenges and bridging differences to facilitate execution. Consequently, Hamas confirmed its adherence to the terms of the signed agreement, which encompasses the prisoner exchange process within the established timeline.

Hamas has asserted that the rhetoric of threat and intimidation employed by U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu undermines efforts to implement the ceasefire agreement.

In a statement released by the resistance movement, it was disclosed that a delegation from Hamas, led by Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, the head of the organization in Gaza and its chief negotiator, engaged in discussions with prominent mediators. The talks focused on evaluating the enforcement of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement amid ongoing alleged violations by Israeli forces.

The delegation held discussions in Cairo with Lieutenant General Hassan Rashad, Chief of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, and engaged in telephonic talks with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, according to the statement.

The resistance movement announced that the delegation engaged in meetings and discussions with officials responsible for negotiations in Egypt and Qatar. Additionally, they consulted with technical teams from mediation parties to ensure the comprehensive implementation of the agreement.

“All dialogues and exchanges emphasized the critical importance of complying with every aspect of the agreement, with particular attention on the expedited provision of shelter for the community. This includes the deployment of prefabricated homes (caravans), tents, heavy machinery, medical supplies, and fuel, alongside the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid as outlined in the accord,” the statement elaborated.

In a recent development, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan announced that increased pressure from mediators involved in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations has resulted in Israel reaffirming its commitment to the established terms of the truce agreement.

He commented following the announcement by the movement that a hurdle in the Gaza captive exchange negotiations has been resolved, paving the way for the next phase of the prisoner swap slated for Saturday.

He stated that Hamas is prepared to commence negotiations regarding the second phase of the agreement starting next Monday.

In a recent statement, Hamdan announced that a 48-hour window has been established for the transfer of captives. He further warned that any interference by Israeli forces with the movement of caravans and heavy machinery into Gaza would prompt responsive measures from Hamas.

Israel has imposed an 18-year-long blockade on Gaza, effectively turning the region into a massive open-air enclave, where nearly 2 million out of its 2.3 million inhabitants face displacement. The blockade has resulted in severe shortages of essential supplies like food, water, and medicine, which are reportedly due to intentional restrictions.
