Hamas announced on Saturday (8/3) that there are “positive signs” to continue the truce with Israel in talks with mediators in Cairo regarding the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
“The signs are positive for the start of the second phase negotiations” of the truce, “Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif al-Kanua said in a statement, while” the efforts of the Egyptians and Catarious mediators continue to complete the implementation of the 19th. “
A high -level delegation of the Palestinian movement met on Saturday with Egyptian mediators on the subject of maintaining the fragile truce in Gaza after more than 15 months of war with Israel.
Hamas – Israel Disagreements about continuing the process
Hamas’s spokesman underlined “the need to oblige Israel’s mediators to implement the agreement”, while assuring that the Palestinian organization is “ready to start the second phase in a way that responds to the demands of the Palestinian people”.
The truce remains fragile, due to disagreements between Hamas and Israel over the continuation of the process, which will have to end up with a constant ceasefire.
Israel wants an extension of the first phase of ceasefire by mid -April. It calls for the “complete demilitarization” of the soil, the departure of Hamas from the Gaza Strip and the return of the last hostages, before going to the second phase.
Hamas, who insists on staying in Gaza where he took power in 2007, calls for the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army, ending the territory of the ground and rebuilding it, as well as a financial aid based on the results of a recent Arab summit.
