Palestine resistance groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad have said that four conditions, including the return of displaced people to their homes in Gaza, are necessary for the success of indirect negotiations with Israel, TRT World reports.

Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh and a delegation led by Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah met in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Hamas said in a statement that for “successful indirect” negotiations with Israel, there must be a complete halt to Gaza attacks, withdrawal of occupation forces, return of displaced persons and uninterrupted aid entry.

The statement highlighted Palestinians’ direct conflict with Israel amid raids, attacks in the occupied West Bank and violations in Jerusalem and the Al Aqsa Mosque. It demanded employing all forms of resistance in conflict zones.
