Gaza, MINA β The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to mediation efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in Gaza.
βWe reaffirm our ongoing constructive engagement with mediators and with any serious ideas or proposals that could lead to a comprehensive agreement,β Hamas said in a statement, as quoted by Anadolu Agency on Thursday.
Hamas held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government responsible for the failure of mediation efforts, saying it was due to his pursuit of personal political interests.
According to Hamas, any comprehensive agreement must include an end to the aggression and the genocidal war waged against the Palestinian people, guarantees for a permanent ceasefire, a full withdrawal of occupying forces from Gaza, the unimpeded delivery of urgent humanitarian aid, the launch of reconstruction efforts, and a serious prisoner exchange agreement.
