CAIRO (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement said that the head of its political bureau Ismail Haneyya discussed with secretary-general of Islamic Jihad Ziyad an-Nakhala and deputy secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Jamil Mezher the new ceasefire proposal over the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Friday, Hamas explained that Haneyya talked over the phone with Nakhala and discussed with him the field and political developments in the Palestinian arena, especially in the Gaza Strip.
Haneyya stressed that any ceasefire negotiations should lead to a complete end to the Israeli aggression, a comprehensive swap deal, the withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza, the lifting of the blockade, the reconstruction of what had been destroyed, and the provision of all vital needs for the population.
Haneyya and Nakhala affirmed that the resistance factions would always side with and protect the Palestinian people’s national interests.
They expressed their belief that the Palestinian people’s steadfastness in the face of Israeli aggression, the bravery of the resistance, and the political will would achieve the national aspirations for freedom, return and independence.
Haneyya also talked with Jamil Mezher about the new ceasefire proposal, as part of his consultations with heads of the resistance factions.
The leaders of Hamas and the Popular Front discussed the developments of “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle in Gaza and stressed the need to protect the Palestinian people’s interests and honor their great sacrifices.
The Hamas leader highlighted that Al-Aqsa Flood came in the context of the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation from the occupation and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
