Hamas is participating in negotiations in Cairo with mediators from Egypt and Qatar. The goal is to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.

We are ready to release all Israeli prisoners in exchange for a substantial agreement on prisoner exchange, an end to the war, withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and allowing humanitarian aid to enter, says Hamas leader Taher al-Nunu to AFP.

He accuses Israel of hindering progress towards a ceasefire.

The Gaza war broke out on October 7, 2023, after Hamas' attack on Israel.
