"Hamas has no objection to the presence of Egyptian, Arab or even international forces, which would be deployed inside the Gaza Strip according to an agreed framework," the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, considered close to the terrorist organization, reported Monday.

However, the Egyptian sources who provided this information noted that the condition for this is a complete end to the war in Gaza and an immediate transition to a long-term ceasefire, lasting between five to seven years. The report also stated that as part of the comprehensive vision Hamas presented to mediators in Cairo, the terrorist organization relinquished control of Gaza and even promised not to impose any restrictions on transferring administration to the Palestinian Authority.

Meanwhile, the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported from a Hamas source that the organization's vision presented in Cairo includes executing a hostage deal in one phase, a complete withdrawal of IDF forces from the Gaza Strip, renewal of aid at crossings, a long-term ceasfire of five to seven years, commitment to the Egyptian vision for establishing a committee for Gaza without Hamas participation, as well as providing clear guarantees for implementing the agreement.

Additionally, two Hamas sources told the Saudi newspaper that Hamas wants its vision regarding a comprehensive deal to be conveyed through Turkey to the Trump administration due to the good relations between the countries. Against this backdrop, members of Hamas' leadership council – Muhammad Darwish, Khalil al-Hayya, Zaher Jabarin, and Nizar Awadallah – met Sunday in Qatar with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
