Sources within the Palestinian Resistance denied Wednesday media reports about private talks between Hamas and Qataris in Doha demanding the movement to lower its ceiling for an agreement.

Al Mayadeen's sources reported that a delegation from Hamas would arrive Thursday, in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, for discussion with the Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

The sources mentioned that Hamas informed the mediators that military pressure "will not lead to any change in its position, including the [Israeli] attack on Rafah."

This comes after Hamas handed over on Tuesday its response to both Qatar and Egypt regarding the framework agreement, following internal consultations within its leadership and with other Palestinian Resistance factions.

The Palestinian Resistance group said that it dealt "positively" with the initial proposal made in the Paris Document, which came as a result of a meeting of top intelligence officials from Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and France in Paris earlier in late January.

Hamas explained that the response aims to achieve "a comprehensive and full ceasefire," a clause that was not included in the original proposal.

According to the movement, the submitted response maintained the necessity of "a comprehensive and complete ceasefire, ending the aggression against [the Palestinian people], securing relief, shelter, reconstruction (projects), lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, and completing the process of a prisoner exchange [deal]."

Earlier, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan told a news conference in Beirut that the movement responded to the Paris Document in a way that ensures a comprehensive cessation of aggression, the release of prisoners, and the entry of aid into the besieged Gaza Strip.

Hamdan confirmed a Hamas delegation led by senior official Khalil al-Hayya would travel to Cairo on Thursday "to follow up on" the negotiations within the framework of Egyptian-Qatari efforts.

Later, the Palestinian official told Al Mayadeen that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expected Hamas to reject the Paris Document but was surprised by the Palestinian Resistance movement's positive response.

Resistance's firepower is the real guarantor of the deal

The Deputy Secretary-General for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Mohammad al-Hindi, told Al Mayadeen on Tuesday that the response to the "framework agreement," also known as the Paris Document,  includes clauses that speak to "fundamental principles" set out by the Resistance.

Al-Hindi said the meeting of top Egyptian, Qatari, American, and French officials in Paris "came to discuss the issue of prisoners and regional tension." This led to the formulation of the Paris Document, which offered a time-limited truce, in which a prisoner exchange deal would materialize between "Israel" and the Palestinian Resistance.

However, al-Hindi said that, in its response, the Resistance took the opportunity to "introduce the fundamental principles it adheres to to the Paris [Document]."

On the question of which side will guarantee that the clauses are not breached by the Israeli occupation, al-Hindi emphasized that the Resistance's firepower is the real guarantor of the deal, not the mediators.

However, he did recognize the role that some nations and organizations could play, namely "Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, Russia, and the United Nations."

He stressed that the United States is not one of those nations that could play such a role, as a guarantor.

"America is completely biased toward Israel... what we see with our own eyes is its participation in the aggression and preventing aid from entering Gaza," the official stated.
