<p>Israeli newspaper <em>Maariv </em>cited informed sources today,
stating that Israeli intransigence is taking over the talks with the
Palestinian Resistance in Cairo. </p>
<p>The sources further labeled <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-anti-gov-protesters-block-roads-in--tel-aviv">the ideas being promoted by the Mossad</a>,
claiming that Hamas does not care about the captives' deal, as "false",
stressing that "Israel" is the one disrupting the current
negotiations. </p>
<p><em>Maariv </em>also cited a senior Israeli security source as saying
that as time passes, all negotiation purposes will cease as there will
be no captives left. </p>
<p>After the failure of the most recent negotiation attempt, Israeli
media revealed that during a session including both political and
"security" echelons, the IOF requested to expand the negotiations and
show more flexibility in all negotiations related to the captives deal.</p>
<p>However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other security
chiefs, including the chiefs of Mossad and Shin Bet rejected this
request, according to Israeli media. </p>
<h2>'Israel' using manipulation in negotiations to gain time: Hamas</h2>
<p>Hussam Badran, a member of the Hamas Political Bureau, announced on
March 7 that the movement's delegation left Cairo to engage in further
discussions with the movement's leadership.</p>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--using-manipulation-in-negotiations-to-gain-time--ha">Badran mentioned that the reason</a>
behind the stalled negotiations is the insistence of the Israeli
occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on maintaining his
position and his attempt to manipulate the negotiations to gain more
time.</p>
<p>Addressing <em>Sputnik</em>, Badran explained that Netanyahu has
rejected a ceasefire due to disagreements on several points. According
to Badran, "There are no positive responses regarding the [Israeli
occupation forces'] withdrawal from Gaza, no guarantees for the entry of
aid or reconstruction, not to mention the main issue which is related
to the return of refugees to their homes, especially in northern Gaza."</p>
<h2>Abu Obeida: No compromise on main demands, Ramadan a month of Jihad</h2>
<p>The ongoing Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood "establishes a new phase not only
in Gaza and Palestine but on a global level," as it promotes the fact
that "justice is only secured through force," the military spokesperson
for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida stated in a crucial broadcast
address on March 8. </p>
<p>Five months into Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Abu Obeida brought clarity
to several key issues, including ongoing mediated talks between the
Palestinian Resistance and "Israel", as well as the operational
situation of the Palestinian Resistance and the condition of Israeli
captives in the Gaza Strip. </p>
<p>"This savage war against our people enters its sixth month, with the
criminal enemy persisting in perpetrating a true Nazi holocaust against
our people – involving the killings, starvation, intensification of
oppression, destruction, and disdain for all international laws and
feeble systems that stand powerless against the occupying entity, which
is stripped of any human values," Abu Obeida stated.</p>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/abu-obeida--no-compromise-on-main-demands--ramadan-a-month-o">Abu Obeida's speech highlighted</a>
the futility of diplomacy and legal pathways through international law
or the decisions of the United Nations Security Council in achieving a
ceasefire and the rights of the Palestinian people.</p>
<p>Instead, the spokesperson pushed for continued confrontations and
expanded mobilization in the month of Ramadan, in the West Bank,
occupied '48 territories, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and other Islamic and
Arab nations to end the genocide against the Palestinian people.</p></div></div></div>
