Hamas says acceptable approaches reached on contentious Gaza ceasefire issues
The Palestinian movement Hamas said Tuesday that “acceptable approaches” had been reached on the “contentious issues” of a Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel following talks in Cairo.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told Anadolu that discussions in the Egyptian capital had produced “acceptable approaches from the parties participating in the talks regarding the contentious issues of the ceasefire agreement.”
He said Hamas and other Palestinian factions had dealt “with flexibility and positivity” with proposals presented by mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkiye, “out of a national responsibility to stop the genocide in Gaza.”
Qassem said “the ball is now in the court of the (Israeli) occupation and the Board of Peace, represented by its executive director (Nickolay Mladenov,) in order to move toward real and full implementation of President Trump’s vision for peace in the Strip.”
Despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, the Israeli army has killed 978 Palestinians and injured 3,097 others in near-daily attacks, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
