In a series of statements, Hamas chairman Ismail Haniyeh outlined the group's conditions for negotiations and a potential hostage deal, emphasizing a complete cessation of aggression, withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army from Gaza, lifting the unjust siege on Gaza, and providing safe and suitable shelter for the displaced as non-negotiable terms. These conditions are also tied to the potential release of longtime Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison, which Hamas has demanded as part of any ceasefire deal. Analysts suggest that these demands, particularly Barghouti's release, could be pivotal in reviving the two-state solution. The firm stance from Hamas comes amid reports of the group feeling pressure, yet remaining steadfast in their demands following what they describe as the failure of the occupation army's objectives in Gaza.
