The Hamas Movement said in a statement on Sunday that the current round of ceasefire talks in the Egyptian capital has ended, and that its negotiating team will leave for Doha this evening after two days of meetings.
“The Movement’s delegation had delivered the Movement’s response to the mediator brothers in Egypt and Qatar, where in-depth and serious discussions took place with them”, Hamas’s statement reads.
The statement mentioned that Hamas’s key demands include “a complete end” to the fighting, Israeli withdrawal “from the entire Gaza Strip, the facilitation of the return of displaced people, the intensification of relief efforts, the start of reconstruction and the conclusion of a prisoner exchange deal.”
A Hamas official said in press statements that the group’s negotiators in Cairo were leaving for Doha Sunday after talks ended in the Egyptian capital, part of mediation efforts towards a truce in Gaza.
“The Movement showed flexibility during the negotiations in accordance with what best served the interests of the Palestinian people,” said Mahmoud al-Mardawi, the Hamas official.
