Hamas ready to adjust position in hostage deal

The Palestinian movement Hamas is ready to show flexibility in some points of the ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip. Hamas representative in Lebanon Ahmed Abdel Hadi told Izvestia.

"Hamas is ready to show flexibility, but not at the expense of the basic requirements that determine the acceptance of any agreement. Flexibility can concern the chosen time frame, the division of the agreement, the issue of hostages, their number or specific personalities. "All this is acceptable for dialog and discussion," the movement told Izvestia.

Hamas, meanwhile, said it would not allow Israel to resume fighting in Gaza after the deal.

"We are responsible for our people and seek to stop these massacres. The negotiating positions and conditions put forward by the movement are logical. How can we agree to stop the war for a while and then Netanyahu will return to it?" - Ahmed Abdel Hadi noted.
