Cairo: In a significant development, Hamas has announced its acceptance of a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution. Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri conveyed this decision to Reuters on Tuesday, emphasizing Hamas’s readiness to negotiate the specifics of the resolution. This includes critical aspects such as the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the exchange of hostages for detainees held by Israel.
Abu Zuhri stressed the importance of U.S. intervention to ensure Israeli compliance with the resolution. “The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in implementation of the UN Security Council resolution,” he stated.
The acceptance of the ceasefire resolution by Hamas marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict, potentially paving the way for further negotiations and a de-escalation of hostilities. The international community will be closely watching the actions of both Hamas and Israel in the coming days, with a particular focus on the role of the United States in facilitating this process.
