Wall Street Journal: Hamas rejected Israel’s request for a ceasefire agreement
The American newspaper claimed that the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas rejected the request of the Zionist regime to establish a one-week ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of 40 prisoners. |
According to the report of Tasnim News international group, Wall Street Journal The Islamic Resistance Movement of Palestine reported that Hamas rejected Israel’s request for a 7-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of about 40 prisoners and said that negotiations can only begin if Israel first stops its attacks on Gaza.
This report was published in the circumstances that Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of Hamas, has arrived in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to meet with the head of the Egyptian intelligence agency.
Egyptian sources told the Wall Street Journal that Israel insisted that all captive women and children be freed in exchange for a one-week pause in the war and allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
The Wall Street Journal wrote that for the first time these negotiations included the representation of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad emphasized that Israel should stop the attack before starting negotiations regarding a possible agreement. In exchange for freedom, more than 100 Israelis were captured in Gaza.
A few days ago, Israel Hum newspaper reported on its website, despite The fact that Israel is still focused on the effectiveness of the pressure to convince the leaders of Hamas to shorten their precondition, Hamas has not changed its positions.
Ariel According to Kahana, the producer of this report, Israel is determined that the Qataris can force them to accept a new prisoner exchange agreement by putting pressure on Hamas, but this has been disappointing until the moment of preparing the report, and according to Hamas’s negative reaction to any kind of negotiations (until the announcement of a complete ceasefire) means that the possibility of realizing a new agreement is very small. Mossad chief Didi Barnia will hold more meetings with Qatari and American officials in the coming days, the aim of these meetings is to reach a point where efforts to return the Israeli hostages (captives) in Gaza can begin.
