On the evening of October 9, local time, Hamas senior official and chief negotiator Khalil Haia issued a statement announcing a ceasefire agreement.This was the first public announcement by a Hamas delegation since the parties confirmed that the first phase of ceasefire agreement was reached in Gaza.

In his statement, Khalil Haya talked about the ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the opening of border crossings, and the exchange of Israeli detainees with Palestinian detainees, but did not mention issues such as Hamas disarmament and the transfer of Gaza management in US President Trump's "20-point plan."

According to Reuters, Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, stressed on October 9 that "no Palestinian accepts disarmament, Palestinians need weapons and resist." (Li Xiang, reporter of the main station)
