A high-ranking Palestinian Arab source speaking to the Arabic-language Sky News outlet revealed that Hamas has submitted a series of conditions as part of the ongoing discussions aimed at securing a truce in Gaza.
As per the report, Hamas has requested several key guarantees, including protection from targeted strikes on its political bureau and top exiled leadership. The group is also seeking assurance that its financial assets will remain untouched and that no limitations will be imposed on its external operations beyond Gaza.
The same report notes that Hamas is pushing for its members and affiliated individuals to be incorporated into a newly established civil and security infrastructure that would govern the Gaza Strip in the future.
According to the official cited by Sky News, the United States has conditionally backed a cessation of hostilities. However, this endorsement comes with a stipulation: if a comprehensive deal is not signed within 70 days of the ceasefire, Israel would retain the right to resume full-scale military operations.
In reaction to the report, senior Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri issued a sharp denial, rejecting the details entirely. He referred to the claims as “baseless accusations” and said they “serve Israel and undermine Hamas’ legitimacy.”
