Hamas is preparing to present a new agreement to mediators in Qatar aimed at releasing hostages and ending hostilities. This agreement provides for an immediate end to the conflict in exchange for the return of a certain number of Palestinian prisoners. This was reported by TimeUkraineIsrael with reference to Cursorinfo.
Hamas’s conditions
Representatives of Hamas say they prefer a unilateral agreement that will ensure a quick end to the conflict. However, as before, negotiations are possible only if the fighting stops and Israeli troops withdraw from the Gaza Strip. It should be emphasised that Israel is acting in self-defence to protect its citizens from terrorist threats.
Negotiations in Qatar
Today, important talks will be held in Qatar with the participation of representatives of Egypt, Qatar and the United States, as well as the Israeli team. High-level US intelligence and Mossad officials are expected to take part in the talks. Hamas has expressed its readiness to consider any proposals, but noted that their conditions for accepting the agreement begin with a complete cessation of hostilities.
Israel’s accusations
Hamas has accused Israel of waging a “war of annihilation” in the northern Gaza Strip, but it is important to note that Israel is responding to ongoing threats from terrorist organisations. Its actions are aimed at protecting civilians and fighting terrorism, which harms both Israelis and Palestinians.
Prospects for negotiations
These talks in Qatar could be a crucial step in reaching a long-awaited peace agreement that will lead to a lasting ceasefire and the release of all hostages. The success of these talks could strengthen stability in the region, promoting peace and security for both sides.
