The Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas insists on including a written clause dictating an end to the war on Gaza in the proposed prisoner exchange deal, Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday.

Yedioth Ahronoth's Telegram channel confirmed that Hamas will not accept a mediated deal that only includes guarantees of mediated talks for a permanent ceasefire with the Israeli regime. 

The revelation comes against the backdrop of intensifying reports indicating that mediated negotiations between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation are coming to their closing stages. However, the Resistance has made it clear that the proposed deal, which details a three-stage prisoner exchange deal and guarantees further negotiations for a ceasefire, does not meet its clear demand for a ceasefire, among other clauses. 

It is worth noting that Egypt, Qatar, and the United States have been named as the guarantors of the deal.  

In this context, an unnamed Egyptian source has told media outlets that the latest round of negotiations is centered around freeing Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip and ending the war on the besieged territory. The source said that the ball is now in the Israeli regime's court, adding that Hamas has requested clarification on several clauses mentioned in the proposed deal. 

According to the Egyptian source, "Israel" will not send its negotiating team to Cairo, where talks are taking place until Hamas submits its response to the deal.

Despite the fact that the Israeli regime has refused to discuss a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, Israeli media outlets have highlighted a starkly different operational reality, in which Israeli occupation forces have withdrawn from most of the positions they had taken in the Gaza Strip. 

Carmela Menashe, Israeli radio Kol Yisrael's military correspondent, said that Hamas fighters have returned to roam the Gaza Strip. Menashe believes that Israeli authorities have exhibited "no strategy", adding that there are no Israeli military forces positioned between Rafah and the Netzarim Axis, which splits the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of the territory. 

The correspondent said that Palestinian Resistance fighters "are moving back wherever they want, as there is no pressure on them."

Moreover, Mensahe highlighted the fact that the Israeli regime and its allies have failed to find an alternative to Hamas's governance of the Gaza Strip, saying that "no solutions are being offered for an alternative leadership."
