Watan-The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has revealed that a ceasefire agreement with the Israeli occupation will be announced in the coming hours.
This announcement was made by the movement’s leader, Azzat al-Rishq, who stated in remarks to Al Jazeera Live that the movement is closer than ever to declaring a ceasefire agreement with Israel in the coming hours.
An acceptable agreement for the resistance
f the ceasefire agreement will be disclosed in the coming hours.
He pointed out that Qatar will be responsible for announcing the details of the ceasefire agreement, specifying that it involves a limited truce rather than a comprehensive cessation of hostilities.
He reported that the ceasefire will last for specific and agreed-upon days, in exchange for arrangements related to the entry of aid and relief into various areas of the Gaza Strip. This is also in exchange for the release of prisoners, including women and children, by the occupation. Additionally, a specific number of Palestinian prisoners, including women and children, will be released.
The occupation procrastinates, and Netanyahu lies
The Hamas leader highlighted that the occupation has engaged in a state of procrastination over the past few days to finalize the ceasefire agreement, specifically mentioning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this context.
He clarified that Netanyahu bears the responsibility for the delay and lack of seriousness, as he lied to all parties, including the families of prisoners, in an attempt to buy time.
He reported that the Israelis wanted to conduct the negotiation process (regarding the prisoners’ file) amid the aggression, aiming to break the resistance. However, he affirmed that this has not happened and will not happen.
