Summary
Hamas’ Gaza chief, Khalil Al-Hayya, announced the group’s readiness to negotiate a hostage swap for Palestinian prisoners jailed by Israel, rejecting any interim truce. He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for using partial agreements to further political aims amid ongoing conflict. Despite Egyptian mediation efforts to revive a previous ceasefire, recent talks in Cairo yielded no progress, with Hamas accusing Israel of presenting “impossible conditions” for negotiations.
