As part of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas’s commitment to easing the suffering of our people by ending the aggression and opening the crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid, the positive initiative to release the captured soldier Edan Alexander came ahead of the U.S. President’s visit to the region.
Based on the understandings reached with the American side, and with the knowledge of the mediators, we expect the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, a call for a permanent ceasefire, and comprehensive negotiations on all issues to achieve security and stability in the region—an outcome we are striving for.
However, failure to take these steps—especially the entry of humanitarian aid—will cast a negative shadow on any efforts to resume negotiations regarding a prisoner exchange deal.
