<p>The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced on Saturday that
it has completed wide-ranging consultations with fellow Palestinian
factions and submitted a <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hamas-gives-positive-response-to-us-mediated-gaza-ceasefire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint response to mediators</a> on the latest ceasefire framework aimed at halting the Israeli occupation\u2019s war on the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>In a statement issued by its National Relations Office, Hamas said it
held \u201can extensive series of contacts\u201d with leaders of national and
Islamic factions to coordinate and agree on a single position regarding
the proposal\u2019s terms and the mechanisms for implementation.</p>
<p>The talks, described as \u201cserious and practical,\u201d produced what the
movement called a \u201cunified national consensus\u201d backing the stance of the
<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-resistance-launch-deadly-ambushes-against-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestinian resistance</a>.</p>
<p>\u201cAll factions welcomed this unified reply,\u201d the statement noted,
adding that the response was forwarded to mediators \u201cin a positive
spirit and with full unanimity\u201d after both internal and external
consultations were finalized.</p>
<h2>United front to end the genocide</h2>
<p>Hamas stressed that the joint effort reflects \u201cresponsible
Palestinian leadership\u201d seeking to preserve the achievements of the
Palestinian people and ensure a united front to end the genocide being
waged against our people in Gaza.</p>
<p>An Israeli official told Israeli media on Saturday that an Israeli
delegation will travel to Doha in the coming days \u201cto complete the
deal,\u201d indicating that indirect negotiations are poised to resume in the
Qatari capital.</p>
<p>The response follows the unveiling of what US President Donald Trump labeled a "final proposal" for a<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/egypt-seeks-60-day-gaza-truce--warns--israel--over-renewed-w">60-day ceasefire</a>, an initiative reportedly rooted in the Witkoff Plan and coordinated with Qatar, Egypt, and the US administration.</p>
<p>According to Israeli<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/qatari-backed-gaza-ceasefire-proposal--what-does-it-include">reports</a>,
the deal includes phased Israeli military withdrawals, the release of
captives and bodies, and a framework for extended negotiations toward a
permanent agreement.</p>
<h2>Another deal on the way?</h2>
<p>While "Israel" has not<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/trump-says-he-will-be--very-firm--with-netanyahu-on-ending-g">pledged to end its war</a><span> </span>on
Gaza, it has reportedly expressed conditional approval to resume
dialogue beyond the initial truce period. Yet Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has remained silent, even as pressure mounts from the
international community over his government's ongoing destruction of
Gaza's infrastructure and refusal to commit to a full ceasefire.</p>
<p>"We have handed the mediators, Qatar and Egypt, our response to the ceasefire proposal," a Hamas official told<span> </span><em>Reuters</em>.
"The Hamas response is positive and I think it should help and
facilitate reaching a deal," added another official involved in the
talks.</p>
<p>The proposed ceasefire would see a phased release of captives held by
the resistance, beginning with 8 live captives on the first day and
additional releases on days 50 and 60, alongside the return of 18
bodies. In exchange, "Israel" would begin withdrawing its forces from
northern and southern Gaza under UN and Red Crescent oversight.
Technical teams would work on boundary demarcations, while humanitarian
aid would begin flowing immediately.</p>
<p>Longer-term arrangements, set to begin on day one of the truce,
include defining terms for further prisoner exchanges, negotiating a
permanent ceasefire, determining Gaza's future security framework, and
establishing international guarantees. Mediators would ensure compliance
and could extend the truce if substantial progress is made.</p></div></div></div>
