Paris talks about Gaza/Resistance don’t lose their most important card.
After repeated attempts to stop the Gaza war failed in the recent period, on Sunday last week American, Zionist, Egyptian and Qatari negotiators in Paris reached an agreement on a framework for a ceasefire and the release of other Israeli prisoners from the Palestinian resistance. The main part of this plan is related to the exchange of prisoners between the resistance and the Zionist regime, but the resistance has told the mediators that after the release of the prisoners, the Zionist regime will intensify its brutality against Gaza and nothing will stop it. Especially, with the release of the Zionist prisoners, the internal pressures against the occupation regime’s army and cabinet will decrease.
Also, sources familiar with the process of these negotiations emphasize: The Palestinian resistance does not consider itself obliged to lose one of its most important cards, the card of Israeli prisoners, without reaching real guarantees in the field of non-resumption of war.
The leaders of the Palestinian resistance in Hamas and Islamic Jihad have repeatedly emphasized the resistance’s adherence to their previous conditions for a ceasefire, the most important of which is the permanent cessation of war and the provision of guarantees that the Zionists will not resume their aggression against Gaza.
Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of Hamas, and Ziad al-Nakhleh, the secretary general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, emphasized during their conversation that any negotiation on a ceasefire should lead to a complete end to the aggression against Gaza, the withdrawal of the occupying army from Gaza, the removal of The blockade of Gaza and the reconstruction of this area, the entry of all vital facilities into Gaza and a complete agreement for the exchange of prisoners.
