Hamas Submits Palestinian Factions’ Unified Response to Nickolay Mladenov’s Gaza Roadmap

Hamas announced on Saturday that Palestinian factions have submitted their official response to a 15-clause roadmap proposed by international envoy Nickolay Mladenov on April 19, aimed at ending hostilities in Gaza and advancing the second phase of a U.S.-backed ceasefire plan.

“Hamas announced on Sunday that it had delivered the Palestinian factions' response to the 'Roadmap' proposed by the High Representative for the Peace Process in Gaza, Nikolai Mladenov, and stressed the necessity of a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip”

The announcement followed intensive consultations held over the past week in Cairo involving various Palestinian factions and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, culminating in a unified national position formally delivered to the relevant parties.

Hamas said the factions’ engagement with the roadmap was “responsible and positive,” and stressed that any progress toward subsequent phases must be contingent upon complete implementation of the provisions contained in the first phase, particularly those related to humanitarian obligations and the cessation of military operations in the Gaza Strip.

The movement insisted that no further steps could proceed without Israel fulfilling its original commitments under the agreement, and it called for strict implementation of provisions related to the deployment of an administrative committee in Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory, and the immediate commencement of reconstruction efforts.

Hamas said it delivered yesterday the response of the Palestinian factions to the roadmap plan, which it had received from Nickolay Mladenov on April 19, and that numerous meetings in Cairo with mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey culminated in the unified national position presented yesterday.

The movement emphasized the necessity of implementing the first phase in full detail, particularly regarding the humanitarian protocol and halting all forms of aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and it stressed full commitment to the roadmap on the entry of the administrative committee, the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Strip, and reconstruction.

In parallel, Ratopati reported that Hamas said the Palestinian groups presented their response to Nikolay Mladenov on Saturday, after holding several meetings in Cairo last week to present a unified proposal.

Ratopati also described the roadmap as a 15-point plan covering security, security forces for international stability, Israeli withdrawal, and reconstruction, and it said the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel had been in effect since October 2025.

Senego described an eight-month plan reviewed by Al Jazeera in which Nickolay Mladenov submitted an eight-month plan aimed at the gradual disarmament of Hamas and the other Palestinian factions, conditioning the entry of reconstruction materials and the increase of humanitarian aid on demilitarization.

The plan outlined a first phase covering the first two weeks with the total halt of military operations, the implementation of humanitarian protocols by Israel, and the deployment of the Palestinian national committee to assume administrative and security responsibilities.

Senego said that between days 16 and 60 the withdrawal of heavy weapons should begin, that a deadline of day 90 was set for the destruction of the tunnel network while Israel would authorize the installation of prefabricated residential units, and that the decisive stage was fixed for day 251.

Hamas, Senego reported, has systematically refused to abandon its armaments as long as the Israeli military presence endures, and Palestinian experts cited by Al Jazeera estimated that the roadmap amounts in practice to the movement's political surrender.
