The Palestinian clans reiterated on Wednesday their endorsement and support for the demands set by the Resistance, which according to them, represent a national consensus and reflect the unified national stance of all forces, factions, and clans.

This comes after a senior Resistance official told Al Mayadeen that Hamas will not participate in the meetings taking place in the Qatari capital Doha tomorrow, Thursday, over a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange deal with the Israeli occupation entity.

The official indicated on Wednesday that the Palestinian Resistance movement refuses to start negotiations unless they are based on the last ceasefire proposal presented on July 2.

Akef al-Masri, the Commissioner-General of the Higher Committee for Clan Affairs in Gaza, stated that the Resistance's demands represent the entire Palestinian people and call for their most basic and just human rights, with the minimum being the cessation of ongoing massacres.

"Israel is trying to buy time, but the Resistance remains cautious and vigilant, and its stances are based on the belief that the occupation cannot be given more time to continue its crimes," he said.

Al-Masri also praised the Resistance's position, which links its participation in the negotiations to the presence of a clear timeline for a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange.

"Our Palestinian people are being slaughtered daily, and the Resistance cannot accept granting the occupation the time it needs or allowing negotiations to serve as a cover for continued crimes," the Palestinian official indicated.

Elsewhere, al-Masri called on some Arab states to switch their stance from being mediators to becoming the primary pressure point on the Israeli occupation and utilizing all means to compel it to halt its crimes.

'Israel' clings to Gaza proposal as Trump charts a different course

This comes after US President Joe Biden, Qatar's Emir Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi released a couple of days ago a joint statement calling on "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance group to finalize the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal on Thursday.

In response to the trilateral statement, Hamas affirmed on Saturday that since the onset of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, it has been committed to supporting the mediation efforts led by Egypt and Qatar to secure a ceasefire and end the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and has consistently backed any initiative that aims to halt the aggression.

It confirmed that it has engaged in numerous negotiation rounds and demonstrated all necessary flexibility and positivity to achieve the goals and interests of the Palestinian people, halt the bloodshed, and end the genocide.

However, Hamas pointed out that the Israeli occupation met this approach with rejection, continuing its massacres against the Palestinian people and reiterating its stance that it was not serious about a permanent ceasefire, with its aggressive actions standing as clear evidence of this.

Despite Hamas' awareness, shared with the mediators in Egypt and Qatar, of the occupation’s true motives and the stance of its prime minister, the movement said it still responded to the latest agreement on July 2, 2024.

Yet, according to Hamas, the Israeli occupation met this by introducing new conditions that had not been raised throughout the negotiation process and escalated its aggression against the Palestinian people, committing further massacres, which culminated in the assassination of its political leader Ismail Haniyeh, which confirms "Israel's" intentions to continue the aggression and not reach a ceasefire agreement.

The Palestinian Resistance group said that even after the announcement of the trilateral statement, "Israel" committed a heinous crime, massacring displaced people at al-Tabieen school in Gaza's al-Daraj neighborhood during dawn prayers on August 10 and leaving more than one hundred civilians killed and over 250 others injured.

Hamas said that in light of these developments and out of a sense of responsibility and concern for the Palestinian people and their interests, it calls on the mediators to present a plan to implement what they proposed to the movement, which was agreed on, on July 2, based on US President Joe Biden’s vision and Security Council Resolution 2735.

Elsewhere, the Palestinian Resistance group stressed that the mediators should compel "Israel" to comply with the plan, instead of pursuing further rounds of negotiations or new proposals that would provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and grant it more time to continue its genocide against the Palestinian people.
