Hamas says Miami talks must curb Israeli ceasefire breaches in Gaza A senior Hamas figure said on Friday that negotiations taking place in Miami on the next stage of the Gaza ceasefire must focus on stopping Israel’s repeated breaches of the truce. The United States is hosting the talks on Friday, with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff expected to meet senior officials from mediator countries Qatar, Egypt and Turkey in Florida to push for the second stage of the larger plan. Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said Palestinians are looking to the talks to produce concrete guarantees that Israel will end its violations and commit to the terms agreed at Sharm el-Sheikh. Speaking to AFP, he said any progress must also translate into a significant increase in humanitarian aid entering the besieged territory. Naim added that the discussions should go beyond the immediate ceasefire, addressing how remaining elements of the Trump-era proposal could be applied in a way that delivers long-term stability. He said this would require a serious reconstruction effort in Gaza and the opening of a political process that allows Palestinians to exercise self-rule, ultimately leading to an independent and fully sovereign state.
