A statement cited by Palestinian Shihab News Agency, Hamas reiterated demands the group issued in a March 14 proposal prior to a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The demands include a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza, a return of the displaced, and an exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli captives held in Gaza, the statement said.
The statement also demanded unhindered aid delivery to Palestinian people, end of the siege and the reconstruction of the besieged Strip.
The Hamas delegation also emphasized the insistence of Palestinian resistance groups and factions on the realization of national goals, the formation of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital, and the realization of the right of return and self-determination.
Senior Hamas officials have repeatedly said that the position of movement is crystal clear from the beginning and that it would not accept anything less than what it had demanded in the proposal submitted to Egyptian, Qatari and American mediators for ceasefire in Gaza.
