"Establishing a reliable international system for protecting human rights requires the international community to demonstrate courage and full political will to move beyond silence and take on its legal and ethical responsibilities," Qatari delegate Jawhara bint Abdulaziz Al Suwaidi said during the 57th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Hamas says that is was ready to "immediately implement" a ceasefire in Gaza based on the proposal presented by US President Joe Biden and agreed upon by the group in May, and Security Council Resolution No. 2735.

In a Telegram statement yesterday, the group reiterated its "flexibility" toward forging a ceasefire deal, hailing the role played by Qatar and Egypt in mediating a truce.

Hamas also said that it had not put forward any new demands, stressing that it also rejected the imposition of any new terms by any side.

The group issued the statement after its negotiators held a meeting with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel in Doha yesterday.

Hamas also rejected any projects related to post-war Gaza, noting that "the management of the strip is an internal Palestinian affair", and welcomed holding a comprehensive national dialogue with all Palestinian factions.
