Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Anthony Blinken, in his press conference in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, stated that the Joe Biden administration is seeking to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza within the next two weeks. He stated that if this agreement is not reached within the stipulated time by the end of Biden's term, the Trump administration will be responsible for announcing it in the following weeks.
Over the past 15 months, Israeli officials have repeatedly blocked any possible agreement with the Hamas movement and prevented an agreement from being reached to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. However, a new round of negotiations between the parties is currently underway in Doha.
Accordingly, informed sources in the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) told Reuters: Hamas has finally agreed to the release of a list of 34 Zionist prisoners presented by Israel as part of a possible ceasefire agreement.
The sources, who did not want to be named, emphasized: Any agreement with Israel is subject to the withdrawal of the regime's troops from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire in the strip. So far, no progress has been made in the negotiations by the Zionists.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office, rejecting the statements of these Hamas officials, announced: Hamas has not agreed to this list so far.
The ongoing negotiations to establish a ceasefire in Gaza are currently underway in Doha with the mediation of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt. However, the Zionists' excessive demands have now become the biggest obstacle to reaching any agreement.
