An official spokesperson for "Hamas" categorically rejected media claims of progress in diplomatic negotiations regarding the conflict in Gaza. In an interview with the international agency AFP, Basem Naim emphasized the complete lack of official documents about the scale of military withdrawal.

According to the diplomatic representative's statement, the Israeli side has not provided any new or revised map illustrating the plans for withdrawal from Palestinian territory. Naim described all such reports as completely false.

The information was spread after a series of publications in Israeli media, including the state radio-television Kan, which claimed some progress in the negotiation process. The official representative of "Hamas" categorically rejected these speculations.

Basem Naim's statement underscores the ongoing tension and lack of substantial dialogue between the conflicting parties. The international community continues to closely monitor the development of the situation in the region.

Diplomatic channels remain tense, with both sides demonstrating minimal willingness for compromise. Negotiations for ceasefire and the release of detained persons continue to be an extremely sensitive issue.
