CAIRO - 7 October 2025: Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas leader, said, "The movement's negotiating delegation in Egypt is seeking to remove all obstacles to achieving an agreement that meets the aspirations of our people."

 

He emphasized that "the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa has restored our Palestinian cause to its global standing and exposed the fascist occupation as a threat to the security of the region and the world."

 

In a speech marking the second anniversary of the war, he added, "The Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa has placed the occupation in unprecedented isolation and has called on the conscience movements to stand with our people and recognize their independent state."

 

Regarding the Gaza agreement, he said, "The movement's delegation in Egypt is seeking to remove all obstacles to achieving an agreement that meets the aspirations of our people. We seek a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation army from the Gaza Strip, and the guarantee of the return of the displaced."

 

He continued, "We have dealt with all ceasefire proposals over the past two years with great responsibility, the most recent being President Trump's proposal." He warned Netanyahu against attempting to derail the negotiations, as he had done in the past.
