The Palestinian negotiating delegation, currently in Egypt, aims to minimize all gaps, Hamas leader Fawzi Barhoum stated, stressing that the movement's priority is the immediate end of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Speaking on the second anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Barhoum said it brought back the Palestinian cause "to its global position and placed the occupation in unprecedented isolation,” and renewed the pledge to “uphold all the inalienable national rights of the people and their aspirations for liberation, reform, and independence.”
He also reiterated that Netanyahu's government and the US administration are fully responsible for the genocide in Gaza, emphasizing that "their horrific crimes are heavily documented war crimes, and will not be subject to a statute of limitations."
يسعى وفد حركة #حماس المشارك في المفاوضات الحالية إلى تذليل كلّ العقبات أمام تحقيق اتفاقٍ يلبّي طموحات شعبنا وأهلنا في غزة، وفي مقدّمتها:
🔻وقفٌ دائمٌ وشامل لإطلاق النار.
🔻الانسحاب الكامل لـ "جيش" الاحتلال من كافة مناطق القطاع.
🔻إدخال المساعدات الإنسانية والإغاثية دون قيود.… pic.twitter.com/DndiYxPLIK— قناة الميادين (@AlMayadeenNews) October 7, 2025
During the pres conference, Barhoum also stressed the need to “stop the aggression, allow the flow of aid, the full withdrawal of occupation forces from Gaza, begin reconstruction, and allow the return the forcibly displaced.”
He praised the positions supporting the Palestinian people, particularly Ansar Allah in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as “Qatar's diplomatic efforts,” and called on Palestinian factions to unite in their approach to resistance, stressing that “resistance to the occupation is a fundamental and established right of our people, and the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital is now within reach.”
Lastly, the Hamas leader called on Arab countries to activate all forms of boycott against the Israeli occupation.
Indirect talks for a ceasefire in Gaza begin
Indirect talks between the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas and the Israeli occupation began yesterday in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, kickstarting discussions on ways to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Monday.
According to our correspondent, the Palestinian side is seeking clear and binding guarantees for a ceasefire, given the Israeli occupation's consistent disengagement from previous agreements.
The movement's official response to Trump's proposal for a ceasefire agreed to the handover of all Israeli captives, as per the exchange framework outlined in the proposal, but it conditioned "other issues, concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, on a unified national position and in accordance with relevant international laws and resolutions."
