Hamas Announces Willingness to Cooperate in Any Initiative for Gaza Reconstruction While Protecting Palestinian Rights
Gaza City, Palestine — Hamas announced on Saturday that it is prepared to cooperate with any initiative aimed at preventing the displacement of Palestinians and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinian rights are not compromised.
Mohammed Darwish, head of Hamas’ Leadership Council, said in a message, "We are ready to cooperate with any initiative that helps prevent the displacement of our people from Gaza and assists in the reconstruction of the Strip, as long as Palestinian rights — especially our people's inalienable right to resist occupation — are not harmed in any way."
He further stated that Hamas is "committed to completing the remaining phases of the ceasefire agreement and the full withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces from Gaza," and they also remain committed to the reconstruction of Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.
Darwish emphasized, "The post-war future of Gaza must be entirely Palestinian, based on national consensus and supported by Arab partners."
He also mentioned that Hamas is "willing to engage in any Palestinian-agreed solution, whether through the formation of a national unity government or through the establishment of the Social Support Committee proposed by Egypt to manage Gaza’s affairs under Palestinian law."
He firmly rejected "any attempt to impose non-Palestinian administrative arrangements or the presence of foreign forces in Gaza."
Darwish called for active participation from Arab nations in Gaza's reconstruction, stating, "This is the most crucial step to strengthening Palestinian resistance, preventing forced displacement, and thwarting Israel’s attempts to seize control of Palestinian land."
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump had proposed plans for the reconstruction of Gaza and the relocation of its population, which has been strongly condemned by the Arab world as it resembles ethnic cleansing.
Since the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement took effect on January 19, Israel’s genocidal attacks on Gaza have killed nearly 48,400 people, the majority of whom are women and children.
