TEHRAN, May 05 (MNA) – After the end of the negotiations, the Palestinian Resistance Hamas affirmed that the negotiations ended “a short while ago, and the delegation will leave Cairo tonight, to consult with the movement’s leadership in Doha.”

It further stated that its delegation handed its response to the mediator in Egypt and Qatar after in-depth and serious talks took place, Lebanese Al Mayadeen TV English webiste reported late on Sunday. 

Hamas noted that it would act “with all positivity, responsibility, and our keenness and determination to reach an agreement that meets the national demands of our people and ends the aggression completely.”

Al Mayadeen said that the Lebanese news network has obtained a copy of the Palestinian Resistance leadership's letter to the leaders of the Palestinian factions. The letter expresses commitment to continuing negotiations positively to fulfill the legitimate demands and goals of the Palestinians.

The Palestinian Resistance left Cairo after a round of negotiations, serious discussions, and give-and-take interactions regarding the final submitted document, the letter said.

This comes hours after the head of Hamas' Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, stated that an end to the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people is an "essential and rational" prerequisite to a mediated deal.

Haniyeh affirmed the Islamic Resistance movement's positive approach to the current round of negotiations in Cairo. Hamas discussed the issue with Palestinian factions and mediators, holding "concentrated meetings" among its leaders in Gaza and elsewhere, before sending its negotiating delegation to Egypt, Haniyeh added. 

Haniyeh also criticized the United States government for providing the needed political cover for the Israeli regime's crimes, saying that it should be responsible for stopping the war instead of "supplying it with weapons of destruction and annihilation."

Shortly before this update, during a video message broadcast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that he's 'ready' to reach a ceasefire and to get the captives released through a deal with the Palestinian Resistance, which he claimed made unacceptable demands including a permanent ceasefire that would put an end to the war.
