“I didn’t accept the letter as anything but a letter. There are some people who are unhappy with the letter. It didn’t sound like Joe Biden to me. It really didn’t.”

The movement has held several rounds of negotiations, and has provided all the necessary flexibility and positivity in order to achieve the goals and interests of our people, stop their bloodshed, and stop the genocide against them, in a way that opens the way for a prisoner exchange, relief for our people, the return of the displaced, and reconstruction of what was destroyed by the aggression. In this context, the movement agreed to the mediators’ proposal on May 6, 2024, and welcomed President Biden’s announcement on May 31, 2024, and UN Security Council Resolution 2735 in this regard, which the enemy met with rejection and continued massacres against our people. It continued to emphasize its position that it was not serious about a permanent ceasefire, and its aggressive practices against our people were practical evidence of that.
