The Islamic Resistance Movement issued a statement on Sunday evening regarding the “Tripartite Statement on Ceasefire Negotiations” and the call to resume negotiations on August 15 in Doha or Cairo.

The movement said at the beginning of its statement that since the beginning of the aggression, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has been keen to make the efforts of the mediating brothers in Egypt and Qatar successful, to reach a ceasefire agreement and end the war of genocide against our people, and it affirmed its support for any effort that achieves a halt to the aggression.

Hamas stated that the movement "has held several rounds of negotiations, and has provided all the necessary flexibility and positivity in order to achieve the goals and interests of our people, stop their bloodshed, and stop the genocide against them, in a way that opens the way for a prisoner exchange, relief for our people, the return of the displaced, and reconstruction of what was destroyed by the aggression. In this context, the movement agreed to the mediators' proposal on May 6, 2024, and welcomed President Biden's announcement on May 31, 2024, and UN Security Council Resolution 2735 in this regard, which the enemy met with rejection and continued massacres against our people. It continued to emphasize its position that it is not serious about a permanent ceasefire, and its aggressive practices against our people were practical evidence of that."

It explained that "although we and our mediating brothers in Egypt and Qatar are aware of the true intentions and positions of the occupation and its prime minister, the movement responded to the last agreement on 7/2/2024, which the enemy confronted with new conditions that were not proposed throughout the negotiation process, and went on to escalate its aggression against our people and commit more massacres, leading to the assassination of the movement's leader, the martyr leader/ Ismail Haniyeh - may God have mercy on him - in confirmation of its intentions to continue the aggression and not reach a ceasefire agreement."

Hamas pointed out that "even after the announcement of the tripartite statement, the enemy committed a heinous crime and committed a massacre against the displaced people in the Al-Tabi'in School in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza while they were performing the dawn prayer on Saturday 8/10/2024 AD, which led to the martyrdom of more than a hundred civilians and the wounding of more than 250 of them."

The Islamic Resistance Movement concluded its statement by saying, “In light of this, and out of concern and responsibility towards our people and their interests, the movement calls on the mediators to submit a plan to implement what they presented to the movement and agreed to on 7/2/2024, based on Biden’s vision and the Security Council resolution, and to oblige the occupation to do so, instead of going to more rounds of negotiations or new proposals that provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and give it more time to perpetuate the war of genocide against our people.”
