Hamas told Egypt it would agree to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip if Israel met certain conditions.
According to Hamas and diplomatic sources on Thursday, the Islamist group demanded:
- A full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip in 5 to 7 days. Once that happens, Hamas will abide by a year-long ceasefire that could be renewed after that.
- Israel’s immediate opening of all the Gaza Strip’s border crossings, with both Israel and Egypt. Hamas demanded that Egypt and the international community provide guarantees that Israel will keep the crossings open.
- A reconstruction conference for the Gaza Strip.
- Opening the Rafah border terminal between Gaza and Egypt. But Hamas objected to the presence at Rafah of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard. That unit was given a role at Rafah by a U.S.-brokered agreement in 2005, when Israel pulled out its occupying force from Gaza after 38 years.
- International support for compensation for war damages.
- Hamas also told Egypt it was open to the deployment of Turkish truce monitors.ans
