Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, said Wednesday that calm in the region can be reached even without an intra-Palestinian reconciliation.
Speaking with journalists in Gaza, Sinwar added that Hamas has decided that the siege on the Palestinian people would end since the Palestinians have the right to live in dignity.
“So far there is no final version of the ceasefire agreement, only suggestions and ideas.
“Any punitive measures executed by the Palestinian Authority against Gaza will change the rules of the game and we will respond accordingly,” Sinwar went on to say.
In recent days, Fatah leaders have expressed their stance in talks with the Egyptian intelligence about the reconciliation document formulated in order to reach an understanding with Hamas.
The terror organization is now expected to resume talks with Egypt to formulate a final version addressing the intra-Palestinian reconciliation and the ceasefire agreement with Israel.
“We’ve submitted several proposals regarding the captive Israeli soldiers and there will be progress on that matter shortly, alongside the calm (to be achieved between Israel and Gaza). However, the two issues don’t depend on one another,” Hamas leader elaborated.
