Once the fighting stops, “the rest of the details can be discussed,” including the release of the nearly one hundred Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, he said.
Hamas wants to negotiate a “full ceasefire” with Israel in the Gaza Strip before any deal, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamist movement said on Tuesday.
“We are primarily talking about a complete and total ceasefire and not a temporary truce,” Taher al-Nunu, a senior Hamas official, said after a meeting in Paris this weekend between US, Israeli, Qatari and Egyptian officials aimed at silencing weapons on Palestinian territory.
Once the fighting stops, “the rest of the details can be discussed,” including the release of the nearly one hundred Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, he said.
A framework for a ceasefire and the release of hostages is expected to be delivered to Hamas, Qatar’s prime minister announced from Washington. However, it is unclear whether the Hamas official was responding to this proposed framework tonight or not.
Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) reiterated that Israel must stop its attack on Gaza and withdraw from the Strip before any prisoner exchange takes place, Hamas said in a statement.
The PFLP is the second major faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) after President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement. He took part in the fighting against Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7.
