TEL AVIV, October 28. /TASS/. A senior Hamas official said the movement is “open to an agreement with Israel” in the Gaza Strip, amid renewed talks on a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The Times of Israel reported.

According to the report, the member of the Political Bureau of Hamas in Qatar, Husam Badran, confirmed in a statement, published by the Shehab news agency, that an agreement would be possible.

“Our demands are clear. We can reach an agreement if (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu promises to fulfill what has already been negotiated,” the statement said.

It currently remains unclear whether Badran’s words are a reaction to Egypt’s proposed two-day ceasefire in Gaza to exchange four Israeli hostages for several Palestinian prisoners.

Al Arabiya previously reported that Hamas is ready to accept Egypt’s proposal if Israel promises to consider it as part of a potential comprehensive deal.

Hamas sources told Asharq News television that the group would prefer to reach a comprehensive settlement treaty instead of separate agreements, notes The Times of Israel.
