The meeting reviewed the developments on the ground, the resistance's steadfastness and its ability to strike all of occupied Palestine. It also discussed the progress of the indirect negotiations and the occupation's position obstructing the mediators' efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and exc hange prisoners, stressing the position of the resistance and the Palestinian people that any agreement must achieve a comprehensive cessation of aggression, a complete withdrawal from the Strip, the start of reconstruction, and an end to the siege with a serious exchange deal.
