Hamas Reviews Gaza Maps in Ceasefire Talks
(MENAFN) Hamas is currently examining newly proposed maps provided by mediating nations, which highlight the zones of Israeli military presence within the Gaza Strip.
These maps are part of the broader negotiations centered around a possible truce and the exchange of prisoners.
According to a source involved in the talks based in Qatar, the Palestinian resistance group has received updated geographic outlines from the mediators.
These revised versions illustrate regions of Gaza still under Israeli occupation, including significant parts of Beit Hanoun in the north, roughly half of Rafah, the Huzaa and Abasan neighborhoods in southern Khan Younis, and a sizable section of Gaza City’s Shujaiyya neighborhood.
As reported by the source to a news agency, Hamas has initiated internal deliberations to assess the implications of the new maps.
The group is also engaging in consultations with other Palestinian factions to form a unified stance on the proposals.
The maps under discussion differ from earlier versions, which had indicated that Israel would retain complete military dominance over broader territories — including all of Rafah, substantial areas of Khan Younis, Beit Lahiya, and the border zones.
These earlier suggestions were previously dismissed by Hamas.
Hamas remains firm on its demand for a reversion to the previously agreed withdrawal lines from January.
These lines would require Israel to retreat by distances ranging from 390 to 1,100 meters (1,280 to 3,609 feet), a key condition from Hamas’s perspective.
Amid these developments, Israeli news platforms have conveyed a measured sense of hopefulness. a newspaper, referencing individuals close to the discussions, noted there are “promising signals that an agreement could be reached within two weeks.”
