Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the media on the 15th local time that Hamas is committed to the ceasefire negotiation process and urged the mediators to ensure that Israel accepts Hamas's previously agreed commitment to end the conflict and completely withdraw Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.

On the same day, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said Hamas would not negotiate any new conditions for the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Hamdan said Hamas believes that there is no need for more negotiations or a new agreement, but should force Israel to accept a ceasefire agreement proposed by the United States and agreed to by Hamas. Hamdan accused the United States of not putting pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire agreement. He also accused Israel of obstructing the negotiation process.

That evening, Hamas issued a statement saying that the negotiations must be based on a clear plan to implement the contents previously agreed upon by all parties, including a comprehensive ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, the return of displaced persons to their homes, the reconstruction of Gaza, and the exchange of detained persons.

Fatah official: Hope negotiations are the real beginning of ending the conflict

On the same day, Rajoub, Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (Fatah), said that the Palestinian side hopes that the new round of ceasefire negotiations in Gaza Strip held in Doha will be the real beginning of ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and hopes that this round of negotiations will be the first step to achieve regional stability and eliminate threats.

A new round of ceasefire talks in the Gaza Strip was held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on the 15th. Representatives from Qatar, Egypt, the United States and Israel attended the talks, while Hamas was absent from the talks that day.
