Haneyya: Hamas deals positively and responsibly with ceasefire talks
Head of Hamas’s political bureau Ismail Haneyya has affirmed that his Movement is doing everything it can to stop the bloodbath that is taking place in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.
In a statement on Saturday, Haneyya affirmed that his Movement would continue to respond positively and responsibly to the mediators in order to stop the Israeli aggression against its people in Gaza, but it would never give up its people’s great sacrifices and the resistance’s achievements.
Haneyya said that his Movement showed flexibility in the ceasefire talks, but the Israeli occupation regime continues to manipulate and stall on issues that concern the Palestinian people in Gaza, while its position is focused on the release of its captives.
The Hamas leader stressed that the resistance would not accept anything less than a complete cessation of the aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza and the lifting of the unjust siege.
He also said that the resistance also calls for providing safe and appropriate shelters for the displaced people, allowing the families to return to northern Gaza, ending the starvation policy and making a commitment to reconstruct Gaza.
He highlighted that his Movement aims to achieve a prisoner exchange deal that leads to the release of the Palestinian prisoners, especially those who are serving long terms or have spent long years in Israeli jails.
