Hamas reaffirms its support for a comprehensive deal as its delegation concludes a visit to Cairo.

Member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Bassem Naeem said today, Sunday, that the movement is still waiting for a response to the proposal presented by the mediators last month, which it agreed to.

Naeem added—in a statement via social media in response to a question about Hamas's position—that the movement is ready to conclude a comprehensive deal that ends the war, leads to a complete withdrawal of the occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the release of all Israeli prisoners, both living and deceased, in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners, and the opening of crossings to allow for the entry of aid and reconstruction.

He affirmed that there is no concession on resistance and its weapons, as it is a legitimate right guaranteed by international laws, except with the establishment of a Palestinian state, stating that until that is achieved, Hamas can engage in a long-term truce.

Commenting on the recent statements and tweets by U.S. President Donald Trump, Hamas leader Bassem Naeem expressed hope that it would be "a plan and a roadmap to end the war and not a new cover for Israel to continue the genocide as has happened in previous instances," as he put it.

Hamas confirmed yesterday its commitment to and adherence to the agreement it announced with Palestinian factions regarding the mediators' proposal for a ceasefire on August 18.

The movement also affirmed its openness to any ideas or proposals that achieve a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, unconditional entry of aid, and a genuine exchange of prisoners through serious negotiations via mediators.

Meanwhile, Hamas stated today that a delegation from it concluded a visit to Egypt during which it discussed with Palestinian factions and figures a national roadmap, amid the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and the aggression in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, according to a statement from the movement.

The movement added that the visit was part of efforts to end the Israeli genocide war on Gaza and to stop the escalation of aggression in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

Yesterday, Saturday, Israel Hayom reported that sources said talks between Hamas and the United States resumed in recent days after a break that lasted several weeks.
