Hamas announced today, Friday, that it had submitted to Cairo proposed names to form a community support committee to temporarily manage the affairs of the Gaza Strip, stressing that "Palestine, as a land and a cause, is exposed to real dangers, with the aim of being erased and cancelled."

This came in a statement issued by Hamas on Friday, in which the movement said, "We have recently received and listened to many national initiatives and proposals within the framework of the move to save the Gaza Strip from the genocide and systematic destruction it is being subjected to at the hands of Zionist gangs, with Western complicity and shocking international failure."

Hamas stated, "Since the beginning, we have sought with all seriousness and sincerity to put the Palestinian house in order, consolidate its unity, and restore respect for the Palestinian political system. For this reason, we have provided all flexibility to reach national agreements and consensus, whether the successive Cairo agreements, or those in Algeria, or even in Russia and China, and we have sought diligently to implement them."

Hamas said that it had responded "during the last few months to the efforts made by our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt, and our efforts to form a national consensus government or technocrats, and we dealt positively with the initiative of our brothers in Egypt, supported by Arabs and Muslims, to form a community support committee to manage the affairs of the Gaza Strip temporarily, and for its political reference to be the Palestinian presidential decree, and to emphasize that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian political geography."

She added, "We have made significant progress with our brothers in the Fatah movement, under the auspices of our brothers in Egypt, to form it. Then we reached and agreed with many forces, factions, figures and national events on a group of proposed names of national and professional competencies, and they were delivered to our brothers in Egypt."

Hamas said, "We hope that our brothers in the Fatah movement and the Authority will respond to the efforts to form a community support committee within the framework of the Palestinian political system, and work through national consensus and its political legitimacy."

It stressed its "readiness to implement any of the agreements we have reached nationally, and we are open to any formula that would unite our people and their institutions, and restore respect to their political system."

Hamas stressed that "Palestine, as a land and a cause, is exposed to real dangers aimed at erasure and cancellation, which requires unity, cohesion, and the gathering of our Palestinian national forces everywhere, and a level of action based on comprehensive resistance, to confront these challenges and dangers."
