The movement said in a statement: "As part of Hamas's commitment to alleviating the suffering of our people by halting the aggression and opening the crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid, the positive initiative to release the captive soldier Idan Alexander came in anticipation of the US president's visit to the region."
She added, "We expect, based on the understandings reached with the American side, and with the knowledge of the mediators, that humanitarian aid will begin entering the Gaza Strip immediately, and that there will be a call for a permanent ceasefire and comprehensive negotiations on all issues to achieve security and stability in the region, which is what we look forward to achieving."
She added, "However, failure to achieve these steps, especially the entry of humanitarian aid to our people, will cast a negative shadow over any efforts to complete negotiations on the prisoner exchange process."
On Monday, Hamas released Israeli-American soldier Idan Alexander, a day before US President Donald Trump's arrival in the Middle East.
The movement said that Alexander's release "came after contacts with the US administration, as part of the efforts being made by mediators to achieve a ceasefire, open the crossings, and allow aid and relief to reach our people in the Gaza Strip."
Hamas' statement coincides with a round of talks currently underway in the Qatari capital, Doha, led by mediators with Israel and Hamas, in an attempt to reach a prisoner exchange agreement and a ceasefire in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to obstruct the negotiations.
US Special Presidential Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and US Special Presidential Envoy Adam Boehler are participating in these talks.
In turn, the private Israeli Channel 12 reported on Wednesday that after Alexander's release from Hamas captivity, and coinciding with the US president's tour of the Gulf, the Trump administration pushed for a new round of talks on Gaza with the aim of reaching an agreed-upon plan to release the "hostages" (the Israeli prisoners) and end the war.
She added, "Trump wants to see a quick agreement, but so far he doesn't appear to be pressuring Israel to halt its offensive activity in Gaza."
She noted that "Trump's envoys, Witkoff and Boehler, are currently in Doha, along with an Israeli delegation and Hamas representatives, with the goal of securing the release of more hostages and opening broader negotiations that will ultimately lead to an end to the war."
However, the Israeli delegation that arrived in Doha has only a limited mandate, with little room for maneuver, according to the Hebrew channel, which said the delegation "is only allowed to discuss within the framework of the original Witkoff plan."
The Witkoff plan calls for the release of prisoners in two batches, half of them on the first day of the agreement's implementation. Negotiations to end the war will begin throughout the two-month ceasefire, with the remaining prisoners to be released once an agreement is reached.
Since Tuesday, Trump has been visiting the Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. This is his first tour of the region since the beginning of his second term last January.
Over the past three days, Israel has intensified its genocide in Gaza, coinciding with Trump's tour.
In the first three days of Trump's tour, starting Tuesday, the Israeli army killed approximately 260 Palestinians, compared to 78 martyrs in the previous three days, according to data from the Ministry of Health.
These massacres come after Trump declared that the Palestinian people in Gaza "deserve a better future."
Proven false claims have been circulating in the Hebrew media regarding a de-escalation of the genocidal war during Trump's Gulf tour, which began Tuesday with a visit to Saudi Arabia and continues through Thursday with visits to Qatar and the UAE.
