Haniyeh: Hamas Wants Comprehensive Ceasefire

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas Political Bureau, has said that the group aspires to reach a broad deal that will end the Zionist government war.

Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas' Political Bureau, stressed on Sunday that an end to Israel's aggression against the Palestinian people is a "vital and rational" requirement for a negotiated compromise between the Palestinian Resistance and Israel.

Ismail Haniyeh reiterated the Islamic Resistance movement's welcoming stance regarding the current round of talks in Cairo.

Hamas reviewed the subject with Palestinian factions and facilitators, conducting "concentrated talks" among its leaders in Gaza and abroad, before sending a negotiating objective to Egypt, Haniyeh said.

The movement's "positive and progressive" stance on an agreement was conveyed to the delegation, the top official said.

He believed that the foundation for a more "secure future" would be laid by ending Israel's attack on Gaza.

If an agreement does not initially result in a truce, Haniyeh questioned its viability.

"The world has become a hostage to an extremist government, plagued by a vast array of political problems and crimes committed in Gaza," said Haniyeh.
