Egypt: Hamas’ response to the proposal regarding the truce in Gaza is “positive” and will lead to a ceasefire

The head of Egypt's State Information Service, Diaa Rashwan, stated that his country received a "positive" response from Hamas to the proposal regarding the truce in Gaza that would ultimately lead to a ceasefire.

Rashwan added during a telephone conversation with Cairo News Channel on Tuesday evening, “These meetings included the heads of the intelligence services in Egypt, Israel, and the United States, in addition to the Qatari Prime Minister.”

He explained that this proposal is “complex and ultimately leads to a ceasefire, not in one stage,” noting that Egypt announced that it has a three-stage proposal that gradually leads to a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

He stressed that Hamas's response to the proposal can be described as "positive" and will ultimately lead realistically to a ceasefire.


He stated that prisoners and detainees will be exchanged in larger numbers due to the different standards followed due to the different types of those who will be released in the coming period.


On Tuesday evening, the Hamas movement presented its response regarding the framework agreement in Paris to Qatar and Egypt, after completing leadership consultations in the movement and with the resistance factions.


Hamas said in a statement, "The movement dealt with the proposal in a positive spirit, ensuring a comprehensive and complete ceasefire, ending the aggression against our people, ensuring relief, shelter, and reconstruction, lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, and completing the prisoner exchange process."


Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani confirmed that Hamas' response to the framework agreement makes Qatar optimistic, and that the details of the agreement cannot be revealed at this sensitive time.
