Badran said in a statement published by Hamas that Israel’s failure to adhere to what was agreed upon "will bring us back to square one." He clarified that the movement has asked the mediators "to hold Israel accountable for the ceasefire agreement, halt violations, and complete all the provisions that were approved."
Badran added that Hamas welcomes "any proposals" that push towards the implementation of the ceasefire agreement with Israel "in a way that guarantees the rights of our people."
On Friday, Hamas announced that it would release the Israeli soldier "Idan Alexander," who holds U.S. citizenship, along with the bodies of four other individuals with dual nationality.
In its statement, the movement mentioned that the Hamas leadership delegation had received a proposal from the mediators on Thursday to resume negotiations, and that the movement had dealt with it responsibly and positively. The response was submitted early this morning, including agreeing to release soldier Idan Alexander and the bodies of the four others with dual nationality.
The movement confirmed its full readiness to begin negotiations and reach a comprehensive agreement on the issues of the second phase, calling for the occupation to be obligated to fully implement its commitments.
Axios reported that sources said the updated proposal includes extending the ceasefire for several weeks in exchange for Hamas releasing more detainees and resuming humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
