"Hamas", Washington ile doğrudan görüşmeler başlatacağını duyurdu ve Gazze'deki savaşın sonlandırılması koşullarını açıkladı.

Hamas' prominent member, Basem Naeem, confirmed that the movement is engaged in direct talks with figures in the US administration to discuss the conditions for ending the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Naeem explained in his interview with the British channel "Sky News" that the demands of the movement include a prisoner exchange, complete withdrawal of Israeli forces, allowing unhindered entry of humanitarian aid, as well as rebuilding the sector without forced displacement of the population.

Naeem also indicated Hamas' readiness to relinquish control of Gaza, which it has held since 2006, if its demands are met, according to the German news agency. He said, "We have also informed the Americans that we are ready, once again, to hand over control of the sector immediately if an end to this war is reached."

Meanwhile, Israeli sources reported that at least 20 hostages are still alive in Gaza, while the fate of three others remains unclear, in addition to the presence of the remains of 35 other hostages.

This comes as the United States intensifies efforts to secure the release of the American-Israeli citizen Ayyad Alkiswani, as his release is seen as a signal from Hamas to Washington, in an attempt to pressure President Donald Trump to push Israel to accept a deal that permanently ends the war.

Despite the US administration not officially acknowledging any contact with Hamas, classified by them as a "terrorist group," there have been reports of direct talks between the two sides in March.

In this regard, White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt mentioned that Adam Boehler, President Trump's special envoy for hostage affairs, is "authorized to negotiate with any party."
