Hamas underlines that the ceasefire agreement is ready to implement if the Israeli occupation stops adding clauses to the accord.

Hamas has affirmed the potential to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange agreement, provided that the Israeli occupation refrains from imposing new conditions that could hurdle the agreement.

"Amid the serious and positive discussions taking place in Doha today under the auspices of our Qatari and Egyptian brothers, reaching a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement is possible if the occupation stops introducing new conditions," the movement said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas headed directly to Egypt from the Vatican following an urgent invitation, according to Al Mayadeen's bureau chief in occupied Palestine.

Additionally, informed sources told Reuters that "a ceasefire agreement in Gaza is expected to be finalized in the coming days." The sources added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "on his way to Cairo for talks regarding a Gaza ceasefire." However, Netanyahu's spokesperson denied these claims, stating, "Contrary to the wave of rumors, Netanyahu is not in Cairo."

Pictures shared later on in the day showed the Israeli premier in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights alongside Security Minister Israel Katz and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.

Marking the 37th anniversary of its founding, Hamas emphasized its significant efforts to halt aggression and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. The movement reiterated its positive and highly responsible approach toward all initiatives aimed at ending hostilities.

Hamas expressed openness to any serious and genuine initiatives to end the aggression and the occupation's crimes against civilians. It reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the rights, principles, and aspirations of the Palestinian people, including the return of displaced persons, the withdrawal of occupation forces, relief for the population, the reconstruction of what the occupation has destroyed, and achieving a meaningful prisoner exchange deal.

UNGA backs ceasefire

The UNGA endorsed resolutions Wednesday calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and supporting the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), which "Israel" has sought to abolish.

"Israel" and the US voted against the resolutions. While Security Council resolutions are legally binding, UNGA resolutions are not, despite representing global opinion.

The resolution urged "an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire" and also calls for "the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."

Although non-binding, the resolution further demands "immediate access" to extensive humanitarian aid for Gaza's population, particularly in the heavily blockaded northern region.

Hamas welcomed the agreement, affirming that it had engaged with all decisions or initiatives aimed at achieving a ceasefire throughout the stages of this aggression.

The movement pointed out that "war criminal Netanyahu and his fascist ministers" have blatantly disregarded all efforts and resolutions, continuing the genocide war against innocent civilians with full support and cover from the US administration.
