Hamas politburo member and negotiator Hussam Badran reported an improved atmosphere and 'real and significant progress' in Cairo talks. He said the Palestinian factions reached a unified national position on the U.S.-presented roadmap for Phase 2. Badran called for compelling Israel to halt operations in Gaza immediately.
Hamas reported what it described as 'real and significant progress' in Cairo negotiations mediated by Egypt, according to a statement from negotiator Hussam Badran.
The talks center on the Trump administration's proposed framework for Phase 2 of a Gaza arrangement. Badran, a senior Hamas politburo member and part of the movement's negotiating team, said that all Palestinian factions in Cairo had agreed on a 'unified national position' regarding the U.S. roadmap. He described the current round as having a 'positive and responsible spirit' and as achieving progress that can be relied upon.
Badran also called on mediators to compel Israel to immediately halt its operations in Gaza and fulfill all its commitments. He argued that Hamas is working to thwart Israeli plans.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Hamas's maximalist demands — a complete ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal — as well as separate tracks involving Lebanon and U.S.-Iran talks. The current claim of a unified Palestinian stance suggests a narrowing of internal differences, though the precise terms of the roadmap's Phase 2 remain publicly undisclosed. The report is based on a single Hamas statement; no independent Israeli or Egyptian confirmation of the alleged progress has been published yet.
