The leader of Hamas in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, responded to Israel's offers of a "partial" ceasefire.

"NETANYAHU SABOTAGED THE AGREEMENT AND COMMITTED THE UGLIEST MASSACRES AGAINST OUR PEOPLE"

Hayye reminded that Hamas fulfilled all its obligations under the three-phase ceasefire agreement reached after a year and a half of difficult negotiations, stating, "However, Binyamin Netanyahu and his government sabotaged the agreement before the first phase was even completed and committed the ugliest massacres against our people." He noted that despite knowing Netanyahu's intention to continue the war to protect his political future, they accepted the offer made by mediators during Ramadan, but Netanyahu rejected this offer as well and came up with another proposal that did not end the war and did not foresee withdrawal from Gaza.

"WE REJECTED THE PARTIAL CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL"

Hayye stated that they rejected the 'partial' ceasefire proposals that included the resumption of attacks on Gaza, saying, "We are ready to immediately start negotiations on a comprehensive package that foresees the release of all detainees in exchange for Israel ending its attacks, completely withdrawing from Gaza, starting reconstruction, and lifting the blockade." Hayye emphasized that "Netanyahu used the partial agreement proposal as a cover for his political agenda, and that this proposal foresaw the continuation of war, genocide, and hunger at the expense of the lives of the prisoners, and they would not be a part of this policy."

"WE ARE READY TO RELEASE ALL ISRAELI PRISONERS"

Stating that the Palestinian resistance and the possession of weapons is a result of occupation, Hayye underscored that these weapons are the legitimate right of the Palestinian people and all peoples under occupation. Hayye expressed their satisfaction with the stance of U.S. Special Representative for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler, which stated that the war and the issue of prisoners should end together, noting that this aligns with Hamas's position of "releasing the prisoners all at once in exchange for ending the war, withdrawing from Gaza, and reconstruction."

CALL FOR URGENT INTERVENTION FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

The leader of Hamas in Gaza, Hayye, called on the international community for urgent intervention to lift the cruel blockade on the Palestinian people.
