Hamas ready to sit at negotiating table on Gaza immediately

The Palestinian movement Hamas has said it is ready to return to the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release talks immediately.

"Hamas is ready to immediately sit at the negotiating table to discuss the release of all prisoners in exchange for a clear declaration to end the war, a total withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and creation of an independent Palestinian government that will get down to work at once," the statement reads.

The Hamas leadership also affirmed that it had received some ideas from the U.S. aimed at reaching a Gaza ceasefire.

It was noted that Hamas "welcomes any initiative that helps the efforts to stop the aggression" in the enclave.

The radicals also demanded "guarantees that Israel will fulfil its obligations under a ceasefire deal" and said that they were "in constant contact with the mediators to work out a comprehensive agreement."

On September 7, U.S. President Donald Trump demanded that Hamas accept his terms for resolving the Gaza conflict in what he called his "last warning."
