<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">BEIRUT, (PIC)</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said
that the main problem with Nikolay Mladenov, a representative involved
in the Trump administration\u2019s mediation efforts, is that he \u201cexpresses
the Israeli position rather than that of a mediator,\u201d saying that his
approach to the negotiations does not address key Palestinian demands.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">In remarks to Al-Masirah TV, Hamdan said
the dispute with Mladenov centers on three main issues. The first, he
said, is the failure to provide any commitment regarding Palestinian
demands, including the implementation of the first phase of the
agreement.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">He added that the second issue is the
refusal to meet Hamas\u2019s demand that Israel be compelled to fulfill its
obligations and provide genuine guarantees to ensure compliance.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">According to Hamdan, the third issue is
the attempt to limit negotiations to the disarmament of the Palestinian
resistance. He stressed that such a proposal is unacceptable and
contradicts the consensus reached among Palestinian factions.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Hamdan also said that Israel would not
succeed in separating the various resistance fronts, emphasizing that
resistance groups have reached understandings aimed at preventing such
an outcome.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">He further argued that efforts by Israel
and its allies to isolate Palestinians from their Arab and Islamic
surroundings have failed, saying that support for the Palestinian cause
continues to expand and praising what he described as backing from
resistance movements across the region.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Separately, Hamas spokesperson Hazem
Qassem said that accelerating the deployment of the National Committee
for the Administration of Gaza and enabling it to begin its work was a
central topic during recent talks held in Cairo.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Qassem stated that Hamas had reiterated
its full readiness to hand over all governing responsibilities in Gaza
to the committee, including security-related matters, and to provide all
possible support to ensure the success of its mission.</p>
