We have softened the demands, at the request of the mediators and Trump's envoy, says Abd al-Latif al-Qanou, spokesperson for the terrorist-stamped movement, according to Middle Eastern media.
Israel's duty is to agree to the second phase.
When the ceasefire's first phase expired at the beginning of March, they had barely begun negotiating phase two. Israel then proposed that Hamas continue to release hostages in an extended phase one – which the Palestinians angrily rejected, arguing that in that case, Israel would avoid the retreats and concessions that a full-scale phase two would entail.
Israel has agreed to send a delegation to Qatar on Monday to meet with mediators ahead of the continuation.
The talks are about ending the war, (an Israeli) retreat, and rebuilding the Gaza Strip, says al-Qanou.
He reiterates the line from the weekend that Hamas has agreed to compromise proposals that mean the extremist Islamist movement will not continue to rule Gaza.
We say yes to Egypt's proposal to establish a committee responsible for the Gaza Strip and its reconstruction.
Egypt has presented new ideas in response to President Donald Trump's statement that the US would "take over" the Gaza Strip, and in connection with that, get large parts of the population to emigrate to neighboring countries – a scenario that evokes horror in both Palestinians and neighboring countries.
