US stance on Gaza aggression did not change fundamentally: Hamas
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim tells Al Mayadeen that Hamas' discussions with Russian officials in Moscow focused on the situation on the ground in Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim affirmed on Friday that the Palestinian movement has not received any official communication from Arab countries regarding the proposed solution for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Naim pointed out that Hamas still believes that the US administration's stance on the Israeli aggression in Gaza "has not changed fundamentally," emphasizing that the changes are "only superficial".
He mentioned that Washington calls for not expanding the conflict in the region while deploying fleets and assaulting Yemen.
The Palestinian official revealed that discussions during the meetings between the Hamas delegation and Russian officials in Moscow focused on the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip and enhancing international efforts to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression.
Earlier, a Hamas delegation met with the Special Envoy of the Russian President to the Middle East and Africa, and the Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikhail Bogdanov, at the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
The Palestinian delegation engaged in political consultations with the Russian Foreign Ministry to discuss ways to achieve a ceasefire that would end the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and clarify the movement's stance and policies regarding the file of the captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza since October 7.
In a related context, US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby maintained the US position against a ceasefire in Gaza, as he explicitly said, "The US still opposes a general ceasefire in Gaza," despite a death toll nearing 25,000, in addition to 62,108 injured.
