A Hamas delegation heads to Cairo to resume negotiations

A delegation from the Hamas movement will head to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, “soon” to resume negotiations on a ceasefire deal in Gaza.


Al-Mayadeen channel reported from what it described as a "leading source in the resistance" that negotiations would resume in Cairo in light of the continued gaps between Hamas and the Israeli occupation.


He pointed out that the United States is putting pressure on the Egyptian and Qatari mediators and on Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement.


Hamas leader Osama Hamdan confirmed two days ago that the movement informed the mediators of its position in the negotiations against the backdrop of the meetings that brought together occupation officials with the Egyptian and Qatari mediators.


Hamdan stressed that the movement adheres to that position, which was officially delivered on March 14.


Despite the high flexibility and positivity shown by the movement, Hamdan reported that there is no progress in the indirect negotiations with the occupation regarding the exchange of prisoners, indicating that they are stalling.


He added that after the recent Cairo round, the occupation government "is still evasive," which has made the negotiations "revolving in a vicious circle."


He reaffirmed the positions represented in the necessity of stopping the aggression, withdrawing the occupation forces from Gaza, returning the displaced to their homes, especially in the northern Gaza Strip, intensifying relief access to all places in the Gaza Strip, beginning reconstruction, and achieving a real and serious prisoner exchange process.
