The proposal presented to the Resistance in the negotiations is not as generous as the Americans, who are trying to deceive the world, are claiming it to be, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) politburo member Ihsan Ataya told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

"The proposed offer has major loopholes and malicious plots," Ataya stressed. "The proposal presented is three and a half pages long and talks about details in three stages," he revealed.

Unity has peaked between the PIJ and Hamas, and "therefore we have rejected all proposals that could disrupt Palestinian solidarity," Ataya added.

The aggression on Rafah, the Palestinian official stressed, is linked to the port that the US is attempting to build in Gaza. 

"The goal of the port is to turn the crossings into besieged American-Zionist crossings, as Washington is trying to alter the situation for the Palestinians," he said.

According to Ataya, the United States, after changing the geographical status quo in Gaza, wants to end everything related to the Resistance. However, "the Resistance's leadership is aware of the malicious plots being sown by the enemy."

A high-ranking Palestinian resistance official told Al Mayadeen days earlier that the Israeli occupation was forced to make some changes to its latest proposal, which it presented to mediators some time ago.

The Palestinian official explained that these amendments were made after the Israeli regime acknowledged that Hamas and other Resistance factions outright rejected its latest proposal.

The Israeli proposal presented in the negotiations does not reflect a fundamental shift in the position and does not give clear answers on the issue of withdrawal and a comprehensive ceasefire, the official stressed.

The official said Hamas "is still studying the proposal, but there are no high expectations for its acceptance unless fundamental amendments are made to it."

The expert on Palestinian Resistance affairs, Hani al-Dali, told Al Mayadeen that one of the clauses is that 20 to 40 captives, and 4 or 5 female IOF members or elderly IOF members, be released in exchange for their release of numerous Palestinian prisoners held for life in occupation prisons.

He emphasized that the Israelis indicated possible flexibility regarding a withdrawal from the beginning of al-Rashid Street to the Juhr al-Dik area, and the return of the displaced Palestinians should be flexible.

Al-Dali pointed out that the occupation’s proposals are the terms of a partial deal and not a complete deal.

This comes after the Deputy Head of the Hamas movement in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, announced that Hamas received on Saturday “the occupation’s official response to the movement’s position that it delivered to the mediators a few days ago.”

He also said that the movement will study this proposal, and “once its study is completed, it will deliver its response to the Egyptian and Qatari mediators.”

A source within the Palestinian leadership disclosed to Al Mayadeen that Qatar had faced significant pressure from both the United States and "Israel" some time ago. In turn, this pressure was intended to compel Qatar to exert influence on the Hamas movement regarding ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip.

The source clarified last Tuesday that this context sheds light on the recent statement by Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, indicating that Doha is currently "evaluating the mediation it is conducting."

According to him, the Hamas movement informed all concerned parties that it “is committed to Qatar’s mediation” and that it “does not accept any alternatives."
