CAIRO (Reuters) -Hamas’ reaction to the most up to date Gaza ceasefire proposition follows the concepts advanced in united state Head of state Joe Biden’s strategy, the team’s Qatar-based leader Ismail Haniyeh claimed in a telecasted speech on the celebration of the Islamic Eid al-Adha on Sunday.
” Hamas and the (Palestinian) teams await a thorough offer which involves a ceasefire, withdrawal from the strip, the restoration of what was damaged and a thorough swap offer,” Haniyeh claimed, describing the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian detainees.
On Might 31, Biden set out what he called a “three-phase” Israeli proposition that would certainly consist of settlements for an irreversible ceasefire in Gaza along with phased exchanges of Israeli captives for Palestinian detainees kept in Israel.
Egypt and Qatar – which in addition to the USA have actually been moderating in between Hamas and Israel – claimed on June 11 that they had actually obtained a feedback from the Palestinian teams to the united state strategy, without providing additional information.
While Israel claimed Hamas turned down crucial elements of the united state strategy, an elderly Hamas leader informed Reuters that the adjustments the team asked for were “not considerable”.
