Hamas wants Israel to surrender, that's where the negotiations stand.
Don't have any reason to not believe this:
Hamas submitted a list of demands, according to Arab sources. I won't write what I think. I will let you all comment on this
1. Stopping the fighting a week in advance before the start of the deal
2. An explicit declaration by Israel to withdraw from the Gaza Strip that includes an international commitment to guarantee the withdrawal.
3. The cessation of fighting in Gaza. Not a humanitarian ceasefire
4. Freedom of movement in the Strip that will allow the displaced to return to their homes throughout the Strip without any conditions or restrictions.
5. Starting from the first day of the transaction, it will be possible to introduce humanitarian aid throughout the Strip without dividing the Strip into security districts.
6. Hamas and the resistance organizations will submit a list of the prisoners who are expected to be released up to 48 hours before the deal is carried out, and there will be no preliminary list of the number of prisoners and bodies since the data collection operation requires more time as the fighting ceases.
7. Hamas requests the release of prisoners in the first phase, with the first 1-160 being from the senior ranks and those who have been in prison for a long time:
Marwan Barghouti
Ahmed Saadat
Abdullah Barghouti
Ibrahim Hamed
Abbas Alsayed
8. The rest of the terrorists who will be released will be in accordance with their seniority and the number of years they have been imprisoned in Israel and the size of the sentence imposed on them in the judgment, regardless of their place of residence or their affiliation.
9. The same applies to the female terrorists imprisoned in Israel, regardless of the punishment they received or their place of residence.
10. The same applies to the sick terrorists, regardless of the punishment they received, their age and their identity.
11. The same goes for the terrorists who are older than 60 or under 18 in accordance with international law.
12. After the completion of the first part, the second phase of the deal will begin, which will include a cease-fire and Israel's withdrawal from the Strip, and the opening of all the crossings for the entry of aid and the rebuilding of the Strip without Israeli control of the Strip.
Without meeting these conditions, there will be no transition to the other beats that will include bodies of abductees.
