Hamas Statement

Hamas political bureau member Mohammad Nazzal to Al-Jazeera:
—
Hamas received the US proposal on September 29th and has been engaged in internal and external consultations since September 30th. These consultations involve Palestinian resistance factions, independent Palestinian figures, and nations like Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.

Hamas is discussing the plan seriously, despite having many reservations.

Hamas does not approach political negotiations with an “all or nothing” mentality, but rather seeks common ground that serves the Palestinian people’s highest interests and strategic principles.

We reject the idea of being coerced into accepting or rejecting the plan.

Hamas will make its stance public soon, taking into account the interests of the Palestinian people and their long-term goals.

Hamas’s decision to discuss the plan stems from the desire to halt the war and the massacres in Gaza.

Political solutions can be found to achieve our goals, and we reject any dictated terms.

Hamas is concerned with ending the genocide in Gaza, which has been ongoing for two years, and we do not want it to enter its third year.

Hamas is actively engaged in serious discussions with mediators and allied Arab and Islamic countries to reach understandings.

Hamas’ position on the proposal will be announced very soon, without succumbing to pressure or time constraints.
