Hamas issues new statement on Gaza ceasefire agreement

In a statement, Hamas emphasized its extensive efforts to halt the “brutal war” against the Gaza strip, revealing it recently reached an agreement with U.S.representative Steve Witkoff on a general framework. This framework aims to establish ‌a permanent ceasefire, complete withdrawal ‍of Zionist forces from Gaza, unimpeded humanitarian aid entry, and the immediate formation​ of ⁤a professional committee to oversee Gaza’s affairs post-agreement, according to webangah News Agency.

The statement noted​ the deal includes releasing 10 Zionist prisoners and handing over bodies of some deceased captives in exchange for freeing an agreed number ​of Palestinian detainees—guaranteed‌ by mediators. The movement awaits final ​approval of this thorough agreement.
