Hamdan said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: “Israel believes that by targeting civilians it can impose its conditions.”

Hamdan stressed that the meeting between the head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, and the Turkish Foreign Minister, discussed the Palestinian scene and Palestinian goals, and here Turkey can play a special role, given its relations at the international level, especially with the United States.

Hamdan noted: “There is great Turkish understanding of Hamas’ position, and we hope that it will produce an effort to stop the aggression.”

We are committed to the survival of Gaza and the West Bank as a political unit

Hamdan stressed that they are "committed to the survival of Gaza and the West Bank as a political unit facing Israel, and we have a specific proposal regarding a unified transitional government that will take place after the period of elections and reconstruction."

He stressed that the Palestinians are the ones who choose who will rule them, and their choice must be respected, whether it is Hamas or others.

Hamdan said: “There is no serious proposal regarding the Palestinian Authority’s management of the Gaza Strip after the war, and the differences between Washington and Tel Aviv remain subject to will.”

Regarding the negotiations file, Hamdan said:

• Hamas requires a complete and comprehensive ceasefire and the departure of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and will not accept that a temporary ceasefire be negotiated.

• There must be guarantees for any agreement, and the guarantees must be international and regional, and there must be a role for international parties in this agreement.

• There are ideas and initiatives put forward through mediators regarding negotiations, but until now it is not possible to talk about a final idea.

• We are still at the beginning of the conversation and it is not possible to talk yet about points of convergence or divergence.

• Israel is deliberately leaking inaccurate information to calm the Israeli street and buy time, but it is not serious about reaching an agreement.

Hamdan pointed out that the “conclusion” so far is that despite our seriousness and despite the huge efforts of the mediators, the Israeli side is still evasive and does not want to reach an understanding.

He stressed that whenever what we think is approaching happens, the mediators return with a negative answer from Netanyahu, and the mediators have become convinced that Benjamin Netanyahu is not serious and that he is lying and betting on something that no one knows.
