GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Senior Hamas official Taher an-Nunu has described the meeting between his Movement and the US administration as an “important step towards promoting stability in the region.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Nunu expressed his belief that such a change in the US political discourse would pave the way for a broad-based deal.
Nunu also said the recent Arab summit presented key points that could be built upon and provided a well-considered plan to counter the displacement scheme.
Nunu emphasized the need to rearrange the Palestinian house based on national partnership and elections, pointing out that a meeting would be held soon for the Palestinians in Cairo to listen to the Arab summit’s roadmap proposal.
The Hamas official said that his Movement agreed during recent Cairo meetings to the Egyptian proposal to establish a temporary support committee to run the affairs of Gaza until a consensus government is formed and elections are held.
Regarding the deployment of non-Palestinian forces in Gaza, the Hamas official affirmed that his Movement and the Palestinian people can never accept this.
In a related context, a Hamas official told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news outlet that the talks with US president Donald Trump’s envoy in Qatar were “exploratory.”
According to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the Hamas official said that the direct talks with US envoy Adam Buehler took place shortly after Trump talked recently about the release of American-Israeli detainees as a goodwill gesture from the Hamas Movement.
Following Trump’s calls for Hamas to make a goodwill gesture and the talks with officials from his administration in Doha, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza released US-Israeli national Sagui Dekel-Chen in the sixth prisoner exchange with the Israeli occupation regime that happened two weeks ago.
The Hamas official added that during the talks with the US envoy, the Movement tabled a comprehensive deal that would lead to an end to the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
He pointed out that the captives the Trump administration demanded their release were not civilians, but rather Israeli army soldiers who had been captured from military posts.
