The delegation of Hamas departed yesterday from Cairo, said Ezzat Risk, one of its executives.

At the same time, the United States, Egypt, and Qatar are trying to reach an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement for a cease-fire in Gaza.

Hamas envoys met with Egyptian and Qatari mediators, who briefed them on the results of the latest negotiations, Risk said. 

His movement’s position remains unchanged: Hamas wants, as Risk reiterated, a full ceasefire, the full withdrawal of Israeli troops, the return of the displaced, the entry of humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and a Palestinian prisoner and hostage exchange deal in Gaza.

At the same time, a senior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, said that the organization was sticking to its July 2 proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza, rejecting the new Israeli terms and saying talks of an imminent deal are bogus.
