Hamas Political Bureau Member Muhammed Nazzal made striking evaluations regarding the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement reached with Israel in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

"WE SAID TURKEY SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS DESPITE ISRAEL'S OBJECTIONS"

Nazzal stated that Turkey has always been closely involved in the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, saying: "Turkey has never been far from these negotiations and has been closely following them, especially in recent months. Although Israel has objections to Turkey's active role, we have always said that Turkey should be involved in the process in some way."

"TURKEY HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE AGREEMENT REACHING THIS POINT"

Pointing out Turkey's influence in reaching an agreement in the ceasefire negotiations, Nazzal used the following expressions: "Even if the Turks were not at the table, they continuously and decisively followed the negotiations and kept track of developments. Their impact on bringing the negotiations and the resulting agreement to this point has been very significant."

"ISRAEL TRIED TO ACHIEVE WHAT IT COULDN'T THROUGH ATTACKS AT THE NEGOTIATION TABLE"

Nazzal expressed that Israel wanted to achieve its unreachable goals through negotiation talks due to its continuous attacks, stating: "We are not only engaged in a military struggle with Zionist Israel, but we are also fighting politically. Undoubtedly, the most important point of this political struggle is the ceasefire negotiations. This process, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the USA for almost a year, has been quite tough and combative. The Zionists tried to achieve what they couldn't through military operations and attacks at the negotiation table and worked hard to get what they wanted during the negotiation process."

"ISRAEL HAS NOT ACHIEVED ANY OF THE GOALS IT ANNOUNCED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR"

Nazzal noted that Israel has not achieved any of the goals it aimed for at the beginning of the war, saying: "Israel has not reached any of the goals it previously announced at the beginning of the war, such as the release of prisoners, ending the resistance in Gaza, especially Hamas, and completely occupying Gaza. They couldn't rescue their prisoners through military attacks and had to negotiate. At the point we have reached now, they can only rescue their prisoners through a ceasefire agreement."

"NETANYAHU'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT IS NOT ONLY DUE TO TRUMP'S PRESSURE, BUT ALSO A SUCCESS OF RESISTANCE"

Nazzal pointed out that the influence of the elected US President Donald Trump on Israel was not the only reason for the negotiations turning into a ceasefire agreement, stating: "It is a fact that President Trump, who was elected, put pressure on Israel. However, the main reason for this process is the resistance of the Palestinian people and the failure of the occupying Israel to achieve its goals. Netanyahu's acceptance of the agreement is not solely due to Trump's pressure, but also a success of the resistance."

"WE AIM TO ENSURE NO ISRAELI SOLDIERS REMAIN IN THE PHILADELPHIA CORRIDOR"

Regarding Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statement, "We will continue to control the Philadelphia Corridor and increase the number of our forces there," Nazzal said: "Netanyahu makes such statements to cover up his failures. Our goal is to ensure the implementation of this agreement. After the agreement is completed, the situation will be evaluated. We aim to ensure that no Israeli soldiers remain in the Philadelphia Corridor by working in cooperation with Egypt and other mediators. Currently, our discussions on this issue are ongoing."

"THE DELAY IN SUBMITTING PRISONER NAMES IS ISRAEL"

Nazzal stated that the reason for the delayed submission of prisoner documents, which Israel used as an excuse for violating the ceasefire agreement, is Israel's ongoing attacks throughout Gaza, saying: "The prisoners are not located in just one place in Gaza but in many areas, and we cannot communicate due to the attacks. Therefore, the names of the prisoners were submitted late."

"IF NETANYAHU DOES SOMETHING TO VIOLATE THE AGREEMENT, WE ARE PREPARED FOR ANY POSSIBILITY"

Nazzal pointed out that Israel could violate the ceasefire agreement, continuing: "We want to comply with the ceasefire agreement, as we decided, and we are complying. However, if Netanyahu does something to violate the agreement, we are prepared for any possibility. We are following developments. If he wants to maintain the ceasefire, we also want to continue it. If he is considering returning to military attacks, we are ready for that as well. However, we state that we will comply with the conditions of the ceasefire agreement. Our stance will be determined by what happens in Gaza."

"WE WANT TO FORM A TECHNICAL TEAM THAT CAN MANAGE GAZA"

Expressing his thoughts on how the administration in Gaza will be shaped after the ceasefire, Nazzal said: "As the Hamas Movement, we certainly do not say that we will solely manage Gaza. As a proposal, we want to form a technical team that will consist of all Palestinian groups and can manage Gaza in many areas. We are continuing our consultations with all Palestinian parties on this issue."

"GAZA WILL RISE AGAIN"

Nazzal indicated that an international aid organization will be established for the reconstruction of Gaza, stating: "International donor organizations will spring into action as soon as the ceasefire is achieved. We want the reconstruction of Gaza to begin as soon as possible. For this purpose, an international reconstruction fund will be established. This process will start with the contributions of donor countries, and Gaza will rise again."

CEASEFIRE AND PRISONER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS

The mediating country Qatar announced on January 15 that an agreement had been reached between Israel and Hamas regarding a ceasefire and prisoner exchange in Gaza. The agreement came into effect today at 12:15 PM Turkish time. In the first 42 days of the three-phase ceasefire agreement, 33 Israeli prisoners will be released.

The agreement includes not only the comprehensive delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip but also the ability for displaced Palestinians to return to their areas. The details of the second and third phases will be announced upon the completion of the first phase.
