The diplomatic negotiations ongoing in Cairo have concluded a short while ago. The Islamic Resistance Movement's negotiating delegation will depart Cairo tonight and head to Doha to evaluate the latest developments with the Movement's authorized bodies.

The negotiating delegation has conveyed the Movement's response to the mediators in Egypt and Qatar and held in-depth and serious discussions with them.

The Movement has approached the negotiations positively and with a sense of responsibility, confirming its desire and determination to reach an agreement that will meet our people's national demands, completely end the attacks, ensure the withdrawal of occupying soldiers from the entire Gaza Strip, guarantee the unconditional return of displaced persons to their homes, ensure the passage of sufficient humanitarian aid, initiate the reconstruction of Gaza, and guarantee a genuine prisoner exchange deal.
