Hamas leader seeks ceasefire agreement with Israel - media

Yahya Sinwar, the newly appointed head of Hamas' political bureau, is reportedly pursuing a ceasefire agreement with Israel to halt the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Mediators from Egypt and Qatar have conveyed Sinwar's intentions to Israeli officials. The potential ceasefire is being driven by American pressure and is based on a compromise between the US and Israel, Caliber.Az reports per Turkish media.

According to the article, Hamas is showing a constructive stance in the negotiations. However, there are concerns about how Sinwar, known for his background in Hamas' military wing, will influence the talks.

Ankara is keen on including Hamas in the negotiation process and ensuring that decisions are made with their input. The involvement of Sinwar could affect the established balance in these crucial negotiations, the media report said.
