Part 2/9:
Hamas released a formal statement on their Telegram channel in Arabic, signaling their readiness to engage in negotiations through mediators. According to their public message, the organization has expressed willingness to immediately enter discussions to discuss the details of the proposed agreement. Notably, Hamas emphasizes their commitment to releasing all hostages—both alive and dead—in line with President Trump’s exchange plan.
This public acknowledgment is significant because it showcases Hamas’s willingness to negotiate openly with international mediators, which is a departure from previous clandestine negotiations. The announcement is viewed as a strategic move, aiming to position Hamas as open to peace talks, though crucial issues remain unresolved.
