GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Bassem Naim, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, has confirmed that the Movement has intensified its communications with mediators in recent days in a bid to reach a concrete proposal to end the current crisis and halt the ongoing Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip.
In press remarks on Friday, Naim expressed cautious optimism, stating: “We hope the coming days will bring a genuine breakthrough in this war.”
He affirmed that Hamas is engaging with the proposals with full responsibility, openness, and flexibility in an effort to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Israel’s aggressive military campaign and acts of collective punishment against the civilian population in Gaza have now continued for eleven consecutive days, following its breach of a fragile ceasefire that had lasted 57 days.
The remarks come amid growing international concern over the scale of destruction and civilian casualties in Gaza, and increased calls for a sustainable and just resolution to the hostilities.36
