Hamas says it has met all ceasefire obligations in Gaza

A representative of Hamas said the Palestinian side has fulfilled all obligations under the Gaza ceasefire agreement and that further progress now depends on Israel implementing its commitments.

Khaled al-Qaddoumi told TASS that no outstanding obligations remain on the Palestinian side as discussions continue over a potential transition to the second phase of the deal.

“The Palestinian side has done everything that was required of it, [no unfulfilled obligations remain]. Now the world must understand that nothing more should be demanded from the Palestinian side. We have done everything that was required of us,” al-Qaddoumi said.

He added that the Palestinian people “have given their sons, their land and sacrificed themselves, defending themselves in a war that has been imposed on them for a century.”

“We approach this issue with an open mind and an open heart, because we want to achieve the interests of the Palestinian people,” he said, adding that the Palestinian side is “open to dialogue and hopes to secure the interests of its people.”

The ceasefire agreement, reached in January 2025 with mediation by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, предусматривает a two-stage implementation process. The first phase included a halt to hostilities, the release of detainees, expanded humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces.

The second phase is expected to address further steps toward ending the conflict, including a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the disarmament of Hamas.

On July 30, Donald Trump said an agreement had been reached providing for the complete disarmament of Hamas formations.
