Why it matters:
The remarks highlighted the dire conditions in Gaza and urged international actors, especially the U.S. and UN, to enforce the ceasefire and accelerate recovery efforts.
The big picture:
- Hamas returned 20 Israeli prisoners within 72 hours of the ceasefire and plans further recovery operations.
- Gaza reportedly needs 6,000 aid trucks daily, but only 600 are entering.
- Hamas supports UN-led reconstruction, elections, and a unified national administration in Gaza.
What he's saying:
Khalil Al-Hayya:
“We accept UN forces to monitor borders and oversee the ceasefire.”
“Our weapons are linked to the presence of occupation and aggression; if the occupation ends, these weapons will be transferred to the state.”
