During the early hours of October 9, the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas announced that an agreement had been reached that would lead to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. 

According to details declared by the group, its non-negotiables, which include the complete end of the war, the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces, the entry of humanitarian aid, and a prisoner exchange, have been realized. 

Hamas expressed its appreciation to the mediators, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, for their efforts and contributions to achieving a ceasefire deal, and urged the United States to compel "Israel" to uphold its obligations as per the truce. 

Hamas' statement also issued a heart-warming salute to the Palestinian people, from Gaza to al-Quds and the West Bank, and those abroad, expressing immense gratitude to their unparalleled pride, heroism, and dignity.
 
"We salute our people who confronted the fascist occupation projects that targeted them and their national rights. The great sacrifices and steadfastness of our people have thwarted the Israeli occupation’s plans of subjugation and displacement," the statement read. 

Hamas lastly renewed its pledge to continue confronting the Israeli occupation, vowing "not to abandon our people's national rights until freedom, independence, and self-determination are achieved."

We will not abandon our detainees

Zaher Jabarin, head of the Martyrs and Prisoners' Office of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, said that the movement submitted a list of Palestinian detainees to mediators. He explained that the list followed the criteria previously agreed upon at the early stages of negotiations.

“We are awaiting final agreement on the names, as we prepare to announce them to our people via the Prisoners' Information Office,” Jabarin underlined. 

The Hamas official renewed the movement's pledge to free every last Palestinian political prisoner from captivity.

“Hamas renews its pledge to our brave detainees and their families that they will remain at the heart of its priorities, and it will not rest until the last detainee is freed,” he concluded.

'A national achievement'

Following the announcement, senior Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq said the newly reached ceasefire agreement was a direct result of “the great sacrifices and legendary patience of our people, as well as the strength and steadfastness of the Resistance.”

He emphasized that the agreement is rooted in Hamas' “historic responsibility toward our great people” and reflects a firm commitment to their legitimate rights, and is a culmination of the Resistance’s achievements.

Al-Rishq added that the deal represents “a national achievement par excellence,” one that illustrates the unity of the Palestinian people and their alignment with resistance as the path to confront the Israeli occupation.

He noted that during all stages of the negotiations, their “hearts and eyes were with our people in Gaza,” affirming that the sacrifices made have bound them with “a pledge of loyalty and sacrifice.”

Concluding his remarks, al-Rishq stated that what the occupation failed to secure through “genocide and starvation over two full years, it could not attain through negotiations.”

Earlier, sources within the Palestinian Resistance had confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance factions had agreed to Trump's proposal. 

According to Palestinian Resistance affairs analyst Hani al-Dali, the ceasefire is expected to begin at 12:00 pm (Al Quds time) on Thursday.
