Hamas official: Goal of talks is to end war, release detained Palestinians
He stated that Hamas aims to secure the release of the largest possible number of Palestinian political prisoners in any potential deal with the Israeli Occupation.
Hamad criticized what he described as 'Israeli' attempts to gain through negotiations what it failed to achieve on the battlefield, and expressed surprise at the US position, saying Washington has offered no explanation for the starvation in Gaza.
He condemned the international silence over Gaza's humanitarian crisis and urged Arab and international actors to pressure 'Israel' to end its attacks.
'We have shown flexibility and positivity on all proposals that guarantee our people's rights,' he said, adding that Hamas is working toward a deal that would lead to a ceasefire and 'Israeli' withdrawal following a 60-day truce.

UK prepares to unveil plan for recognising Palestinian state
Ammon News - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will this week unveil his plan for formally recognising Palestine as a state in an attempt to quell pressure from within the Labour Party, The Telegraph newspaper reported. The Prime Minister will give his most detailed outline to date of what must happen for Palestine to achieve recognition, as well as discussing British efforts to improve getting aid into Gaza to tackle starvation. Starmer is expected to set out his proposals to the British people in what insiders envisage as a public 'moment', such as a speech or press conference. However, it is expected that the recognition of statehood will still be conditional on the delivery of a ceasefire and potentially the release by Hamas of the remaining Israeli hostages. That could fall short of the demands of a third of Labour MPs and members of Sir Keir's Cabinet, who have been pushing for the immediate recognition of Palestine. Emmanuel Macron, the French president, became the first leader of a G7 nation to announce that he would take the step last week, with the formal change coming at the United Nations General Assembly in September. It came after weeks of private discussions with the UK and other allies about how and when to announce the recognition of Palestine. On Monday, Donald Trump, the US president, appeared to clear the way for Starmer to change the UK's stance on recognition, saying the Prime Minister was free to take a new position.
