Leadership sources in the Hamas movement stated that the movement will announce this evening its position on US President Joe Biden’s proposal for a three-stage truce in Gaza.

The sources said that leader Osama Hamdan will hold a press conference to present the movement’s position on Biden’s proposal on the basis of a permanent ceasefire, complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, the return of the displaced to all their places of residence, and the completion of a serious prisoner exchange deal if the occupation declares its explicit commitment to that.

The sources confirmed, “There are clear and frank words from leader Osama Hamdan about the proposal, and we want direct guarantees for any agreement in the event that any proposal is approved by us.”

She stressed the need to put an end to the war on Gaza, stressing that Biden's proposal is "the product of the legendary steadfastness of our struggling people and their valiant resistance."

The international community welcomed the proposal that was announced, as UN Secretary-General António Guterres encouraged "all parties to seize the opportunity of a ceasefire."
