🟢 “I want to tell you a story that was shared with me by the chief Egyptian negotiator,” Senior Hamas leader Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill.

Maj. Gen. Ahmed Abdel Khaleq asked his Israeli intelligence counterpart whether he understood the maps attached to Trump’s Gaza proposal. Marzouk said the Israeli replied, “‘No.’ Why? Because this map has no meaning. It is hand-drawn, with no spaces, distances, locations, or anything,” Marzouk said.

“While in previous discussions, the text was clear… these maps were drawn by people who are used to camel races. They don’t know the basics of map-making.” Marzouk said “the first point now must be to define the maps… neither the Israelis nor the Egyptians understood the maps at all.”

🚨 Senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill that while “the area of withdrawal may be a matter of debate,” it would be “impossible to have a prisoner exchange” while Israeli forces remain in Gaza’s population centers.

“We don’t know exactly where the prisoners are. Even the negotiators in the current dialogues do not know their locations,” he said. “Therefore, they must withdraw from populated areas. There cannot be an exchange [if the forces remain].”

He added that if soldiers don’t withdraw from highly populated residential areas, “it would mean that Israel does not want Trump’s plan to be implemented.”

Marzouk said “the first point now must be to define the maps… this will be the main obstacle.”
