On January 7, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, Ahmad Abdel Hadi, told Al Mayadeen that Hamas exhibited great flexibility in order to reach an agreement throughout the talks, revealing that all controversial and outstanding points were successfully resolved, primarily to ensure the end of the suffering of the Palestinian people. 

Abdel Hadi stated that "the ball is now in Netanyahu's court, particularly after agreeing to all clauses, and only he can obstruct the agreement or sign it."

He also emphasized Hamas' insistence that any possible agreement include a clear commitment to a full end of the war, a full withdrawal from Gaza, and the return of displaced citizens, stressing that the movement requested maps outlining the details of this withdrawal to ensure its implementation.
