Ismail Haniyeh’s response to the Gaza ceasefire proposal is in line with the principles of the American plan.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who resides in Qatar, said in a televised speech on Monday on the occasion of Eid al-Adha that Hamas’ response to the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal is in accordance with the principles outlined in President Biden’s plan.

Haniyeh, referring to the exchange of Israeli hostages with Palestinian prisoners, added that Hamas and Palestinian groups are ready for a comprehensive agreement, including a ceasefire, rebuilding what has been destroyed in Gaza, and exchanging individuals.

President Biden presented a three-stage peace proposal on May 31, which includes negotiations for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the exchange of Israeli hostages with Palestinian prisoners.
