Responding to Trump, Hamas says it’s ‘ready to immediately sit at the negotiating table’

After US President Donald Trump issued his “last warning” to Hamas to accept his latest ceasefire/hostage release offer, the terror group says in a carefully worded statement that it “is ready to immediately sit at the negotiating table to discuss the release of all prisoners in exchange for a clear declaration to end the war, a total withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and creation of a committee of independent Palestinians to run the Gaza Strip.”

“Hamas welcomes any move that helps the efforts to stop the aggression against our people,” the statement says, affirming that it received “some ideas from the American side aimed at reaching a ceasefire.”

Hamas says it is in “constant contact with the mediators to turn these ideas into a comprehensive agreement that meets our demands.”
