Gaza: A senior Hamas official stated that recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump were inconsistent with the ongoing indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel regarding a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release.

According to Nam News Network, Izzat al-Rishq, a senior Hamas official, expressed surprise at President Trump's statements, noting that they contradicted the mediators' assessments of the movement's position and were inconsistent with the negotiation process. Al-Rishq made these comments in a press statement.

Al-Rishq highlighted that the negotiations, which have been taking place in Doha, the capital of Qatar, have seen progress in recent days. He claimed that Qatar and Egypt, acting as mediators, had expressed appreciation for Hamas's serious and constructive position in the talks.

Despite weeks of indirect negotiations in Doha between Israel and Hamas, no significant breakthrough has been announced. Last Thursday, Israel recalled its negotiating team from Doha for consultations after receiving Hamas's response to a new ceasefire proposal delivered by the mediators.
