<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">The Hamas Movement on Sunday called on
mediators and the Peace Council to assume their responsibilities and
compel the Israeli occupation to fully implement its commitments under
the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, end its violations, halt
killings and incursions, approve the roadmap for the second phase of US
President Donald Trump\u2019s plan, and begin setting a timetable for its
implementation.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">The call came during a meeting between a
senior Hamas delegation, headed by the Movement\u2019s leader Khalil
al-Hayya, and the mediators and guarantors of the Gaza ceasefire
agreement, under Egyptian auspices.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">The meeting addressed several key issues
related to the ceasefire agreement and its implementation. The Hamas
delegation reaffirmed the Movement\u2019s approval of the roadmap for the
second phase of President Trump\u2019s plan, presented by Peace Council
coordinator Nikolay Mladenov and the mediators.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Hamas said its approval of the roadmap was
based on the interests of the Palestinian people and its commitment to
achieving a permanent ceasefire, the full withdrawal of Israeli
occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the provision of urgent and
sustained humanitarian relief, the start of the administrative
committee\u2019s work, reconstruction, and the implementation of the
remaining agreed obligations.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">Hamas also reaffirmed its and the
resistance\u2019s commitment to implementing the first phase of the ceasefire
agreement reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, beginning with the exchange of
prisoners and bodies and the cessation of military operations.</p>
<p class="gmail-wp-block-paragraph">The Movement held the Israeli occupation
responsible for failing to implement the first phase of the agreement,
pointing to its continued military escalation on the ground, the
deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, and its explicit
rejection of the roadmap.</p>
