The Resistance Movement Hamas announced the arrival of a delegation headed by the movement's deputy head in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, this Thursday morning, to Cairo to complete talks related to the ceasefire.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the Hamas leader Osama Hamdan announced the movement's delegation's head Khalil al-Hayya's direction to Cairo on Thursday to follow up on the framework agreement, stressing that the movement "will not give up the demand for a ceasefire, but its response can be developed."
Hamdan said in a press conference held in Beirut that Hamas' response to the proposal is "positive," adding that it "ensures reconstruction, lifting the siege, and releasing prisoners."
He emphasized that there is "no concession on stopping the aggression," pointing out that the movement proposed Turkey, Russia, Egypt, and Qatar as guarantor parties for the truce agreement.
The framework agreement is a truce proposal prepared during a meeting in the French capital, Paris, in late last January, attended by the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) William Burns, and officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Israel.
According to the draft response of "Hamas," the Palestinian movement proposes an agreement in three phases, each phase lasting 45 days; the first phase aims to release all detained Israeli women and children (under 19 years old who are not recruits), the elderly, and the sick, in exchange for a specified number of Palestinian prisoners, in addition to intensifying humanitarian aid and repositioning forces outside populated areas.
