Hamas says Israel can’t be trusted; seeks credible intl. guarantees for cessation of genocide
Hamas says the Israeli regime has kept up its deadly aggression across the Gaza Strip, despite underway talks aimed at ceasing Tel Aviv’s now-two-year-old war of genocide on the coastal sliver.
“The Israeli occupation cannot be trusted,” Khalil al-Hayya, head of the movement’s negotiating delegation, said in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Tuesday.
Hayya and his fellow Hamas’ representatives are in the city to discuss the prospect of an end to the genocide based on a proposal forwarded by Donald Trump late last month that the US president claims is aimed at realizing the goal.
“The enemy continues to kill and annihilate,” the resistance official added.
He sought credible international guarantees ensuring the regime’s commitment to ceasing its aggression that has so far claimed the lives of around 67,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The regime launched the war following a historic operation against the occupied Palestinian territories by Gaza’s resistance fighters, during which the fighters ventured deep within the territories, encircling Israeli military bases, and taking hundreds of Zionists captive.
Hayya asserted that the Hamas’ delegation was in Sharm El-Sheikh to conduct “responsible and serious” negotiations. “We affirm our full readiness to stop the war.”
Less than a week ago, the movement approved of releasing the Israeli captives remaining in Gaza and handing over the territory’s administration to a Palestinian body, as included in Trump’s plan.

The Hamas’ official, meanwhile, assured that the group’s representatives, who were partaking in the talks, shared “the goals and aspirations of our people for stability, statehood, and self-determination.”
He again warned about the regime’s reneging on its promises, citing its record of breaching a 2023 agreement and an understanding that was reached early this year.
The remarks echoed admissions by some Israeli officials, themselves, who have revealed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s deliberate procrastination of the negotiation procedures that have taken place since the launch of the war.

The most shocking of the revelations came in March, when former head of the regime’s so-called Shin Bet spy agency called Netanyahu the main obstacle to effective negotiations between Hamas and Tel Aviv.
