The leaders of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad movements, Ismail Haniyeh and Ziyad al-Nakhalah held talks on Friday regarding the October 7 operation.

Tehran - ISNA - Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah held talks on Friday to discuss Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the former's office said in a statement.

The office said Haniyeh and Al-Nakhalah talked about Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and discussed the field and political developments taking place in the Palestinian arena, reviewing the latest developments in occupied Palestine.

Consultations were held on the ongoing initiatives to end the aggression on Gaza and it was stressed that the consideration of the new ceasefire proposal was based on the fact that any negotiations must lead to a complete end to the aggression.

The two leaders underlined that the remainder of the conditions included the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, lifting the siege in place on Gaza since 2007, reconstruction, the entry of all the necessities of life for our people, and the completion of a comprehensive exchange deal.

Moreover, they stressed that the resistance factions would always serve the interests of the Palestinian people and their safety and security.

Haniyeh is scheduled to visit Cairo for discussions on a new ceasefire proposal, while the Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip.

Regarding the escalations and massacres, including the renewed aggression in the northern Gaza Strip, the leader reaffirmed the international community must live up to its obligations by pressuring the occupation to stop its massacres and crimes.

A leading figure from the Palestinian Resistance factions revealed Thursday that no agreement around a ceasefire deal has been reached yet.
