Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said Saturday that the organization's agreement to the mediators' proposal reflects its commitment to advancing the rights and goals of the Palestinian people within the framework of ceasefire negotiations.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem issued a statement Saturday reiterating the group's position in the ongoing ceasefire talks. The statement comes as mediators continue efforts to advance a deal between Israel and Hamas.
Qassem, who has been a key figure in the group's public messaging, previously backed the mediators' proposal in his first statement since surviving an assassination attempt in July, as The Zioneer reported on July 31. The group continues to insist on a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, positions it has maintained throughout the negotiations.
