Haniyeh said Israel bears “responsibility for not reaching an agreement because it does not want to commit to the basic principles of the agreement.” He reiterated five principles for reaching a comprehensive agreement to halt the war, including “a comprehensive ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army from all lands in Gaza, the complete return of the displaced without conditions, addressing humanitarian issues including relief, shelter and reconstruction, ending the siege, and then reaching a deal whereby prisoners are exchanged.
Haniyeh also affirmed that Hamas “is monitoring the arrangements of the Palestinian internal situation and is more concerned than ever with the unity of the Palestinian people and rebuilding its political and leadership components on correct and sound foundations.”
