Hamas leader: Gaza roadmap we agreed to includes establishment of Palestinian state

Hamas political bureau chief Khalil al-Hayya has stated that a Gaza roadmap agreed to by the group includes the establishment of a Palestinian state. He did not directly address whether the terror group would disarm, but mentioned that its weapons would be addressed as part of a package with ceasefire implementation and independence, according to The Times of Israel.

Al-Hayya also expressed concerns that a change in the Israeli government would not necessarily end Palestinian suffering. He accused Israel of potentially using Palestinian deaths and suffering as political capital ahead of its upcoming election. According to The Vibes, al-Hayya stated that Palestinians have suffered at the hands of all Israeli parties.

The conflict in Gaza has resulted in significant human losses. The Israeli army has killed 262 Palestinian journalists and injured 433 others since its offensive began in the Gaza Strip in 2023, as reported by the Gaza’s Government Media Office, as cited by the Daily Times.
