Hamas Signals Openness to Gaza Deal Amid War Anniversary Talks

 

                        Smoke rises from explosions in Gaza, as seen from southern Israel, October 7, 2025.

On the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attacks that ignited the Gaza war, Hamas declared it is prepared to reach a deal to end the conflict — but only under conditions that remain deeply contested.

Speaking from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, senior Hamas official Fawzi Barhoum said the group’s delegation is working “to overcome all obstacles” in negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. Hamas insists any agreement must include a permanent ceasefire, a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the launch of a reconstruction process overseen by a Palestinian technocratic body.

Israel, however, has long rejected such terms, demanding Hamas disarm — a condition the group refuses. The talks, based on U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, are seen as the most promising attempt yet to halt a war that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and left Gaza in ruins.

Despite cautious optimism, officials on all sides warned against expecting a rapid breakthrough. As Israelis mourned the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust and Gazans voiced hope for relief from two years of devastation, the negotiations underscored both the urgency and the fragility of the moment.
