Hamas said on Tuesday that it will not be part of any administrative arrangements for the future of the Gaza Strip, but only if they are agreed upon nationally.

The movement's spokesman, Hazem Qassem, added, "Our position is clear. Any arrangements for the future of Gaza after the end of the aggression against it are made through national consensus, and we will facilitate the matter," according to what was reported by the Anadolu Agency.

He continued, "Hamas does not necessarily have to be part of the arrangements. It is not interested in that, and does not want to be in these arrangements at all."

He stressed the importance of these administrative arrangements being made "with internal national consensus," emphasizing that Hamas "will not allow any external force to interfere."

He also stated that these arrangements must be able to "launch a serious and real reconstruction process to save our people in the Gaza Strip from the catastrophe that befell them with the genocidal war."

He pointed out that his movement would not be "an obstacle to any arrangements made with national consensus, and would be able to launch reconstruction" after the massive destruction left behind by the Israeli army.

Qassem pointed out that the Palestinians "are able to find consensual approaches with Arab support to accomplish this matter."

Last February, Qassem said that his movement had shown the utmost flexibility in formulating political and administrative approaches to managing the Gaza Strip after the war of extermination.

He added that among these approaches is "agreement to form a national consensus government, as well as our full acceptance of the Egyptian proposal regarding the community support committee."

Last December, Hamas announced its approval of an Egyptian proposal to form a “community support committee” to administer the Gaza Strip.

Since January 25, US President Donald Trump has been promoting a plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries, regional and international organizations.

Egypt is working to formulate and propose a comprehensive Arab plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing Palestinians from it, for fear of liquidating the Palestinian cause.

On January 19, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas went into effect, comprising three phases, each lasting 42 days, with the condition that the next phase be negotiated before the completion of the first phase, with the mediation of Egypt and Qatar and the support of the United States.

At midnight on Saturday-Sunday, the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which lasted 42 days, officially ended without Israel agreeing to enter the second phase and end the war.

Netanyahu wants to extend the first phase of the exchange agreement, to release the largest possible number of Israeli prisoners in Gaza, without providing any compensation for that or completing the military and humanitarian entitlements imposed in the agreement during the past period, in order to please the extremists in his government.

In contrast, Hamas rejects this, and demands that Israel be bound by what is stipulated in the ceasefire agreement, and calls on the mediators to immediately begin negotiations for the second phase, which includes an Israeli withdrawal from the Strip and a complete cessation of the war.
