The movement said in a statement: "The movement's leadership is studying, with great national responsibility, the proposal it received from the mediating brothers (Egypt and Qatar), and will submit its response to it as soon as possible, once the necessary consultations are completed."
She added, "We affirm our firm position that any future agreement must achieve a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, a genuine prisoner exchange deal, the start of a serious process to rebuild what the occupation has destroyed, and the lifting of the unjust siege on our people."
Earlier on Monday, Egyptian media reported that Cairo had delivered an Israeli proposal to Hamas calling for a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the start of negotiations leading to a permanent ceasefire.
The private Egyptian channel "Cairo News" reported that "Egypt received an Israeli proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and the start of negotiations leading to a permanent ceasefire," without specifying its sources.
She added, "Egypt has delivered the Israeli proposal to Hamas and is awaiting its response as soon as possible." Neither Egyptian nor Israeli authorities immediately issued an official comment on the channel's report.
On Saturday, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, had traveled to Cairo to meet with Egyptian and Qatari mediators as part of ongoing efforts to reach an agreement and halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
The movement said in a statement posted on its Telegram channel that it "deals positively with any proposals that guarantee a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, an end to the suffering of our Palestinian people, and the achievement of a serious prisoner exchange deal."
Earlier on Monday, Hebrew media reports began to speak of "an imminent agreement with Hamas, with American guarantees." However, previous prisoner exchange negotiations have typically been hampered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intransigence and refusal to halt the war of extermination in Gaza.
In January 2025, Cairo, along with Qatar and the United States, reached an agreement between Israel and Hamas stipulating a phased ceasefire in Gaza. Tel Aviv violated the agreement and unilaterally announced the resumption of the war in March.
Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, disavowed the start of the second phase of the agreement and resumed the genocide in Gaza on March 18, in deference to the most extreme faction within his right-wing government, according to Hebrew media.
