‘Hamas and the Palestinian factions have dealt responsibly and positively with the negotiation process and the mediators’ proposals to complete the implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
This was done with a national consensus among the Palestinian factions, reflecting a spirit of partnership and responsibility, stemming from our commitment to protecting our people, meeting their humanitarian needs, and safeguarding their national rights.
The occupation’s commitment to halting the killing and ending its aggression is the fundamental prerequisite and the first step towards its implementation. This includes establishing a framework and timetable for what has been agreed upon. It is emphasized that the implementation of the second phase of the agreement is contingent upon the occupation’s commitment to implementing all the provisions of the first phase.
The inclusion of the issue of heavy weapons within the framework of the agreement is linked to and conditional upon a complete cessation of all forms of aggression, withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, achieving recovery, the entry of the Administrative Committee, the deployment of international protection forces, the disbanding of armed gangs and militias formed by the occupation, reconstruction, guaranteeing the right to self-determination, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and the protection of citizens’ rights.
Hamas and the Palestinian factions extend their greetings and appreciation to our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, and affirm their commitment to continuing to work together on this path for the sake of our people and to safeguard their rights.‘
