In response to a question about whether the coming hours will bear a declaration of a cease-fire, Attaya said that the talks are still ongoing, and all possibilities are open, pointing out that the Israeli occupation is begging for a cease-fire from the mediators, at a time when the resistance feels comfortable on the ground and temporally, even on the political level.
He said: "The enemy cannot put pressure on the resistance in Gaza as it did in previous battles, because it realizes the price it will pay in the event of expanding the confrontation, which will be met by the expansion of the fire pit by the resistance, and the occupation will not bear a long-term confrontation, so the longer we extend the time period, the more it hurts it." More, and therefore the first response was the psychological warfare that made the enemy await this response for a whole day, or even more, and its movement was paralyzed, and the settlements in the Gaza border became empty, and all of this is an achievement recorded for the resistance and its effective tactics.

In response to a question about the failure of the Secretary-General of Islamic Jihad, Ziyad al-Nakhala, to the Egyptian invitation, and the absence of any comment from him since the beginning of the tour to the media, Ataya said: "The assessment of the situation is up to the Secretary-General."
Regarding what was rumored about the visit of an Egyptian delegation to Lebanon, Ataya implicitly denied this, and said: “There are media mouthpieces in the Zionist entity working to confuse, mislead and broadcast inaccurate information, and many interact with it through the means of communication, so it is important that our level of awareness rise in our battle.” media and politics to benefit from in the coming rounds.
