Qatar: Israeli enemy agreed to ceasefire proposal in Gaza Strip

DOHA, Feb. 02 (YPA) – Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari announced on Thursday that the Zionist enemy entity has agreed to the ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip and that Doha has received initial positive confirmation from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

Earlier, “Maariv” newspaper quoted the so-called Zionist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich as saying, “I do not want to mislead the families of the hostages, and in my estimation there will be no agreement.”

The head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, said that the movement had received the proposal of the Paris meeting for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and would study it to respond to it.

Haniyeh explained in a statement, “The movement’s priority is to end the Zionist military attack and the complete withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza,” adding that Hamas is “open to all ideas that would lead to ending the aggression against Gaza and providing shelter for the displaced.”
