IRAQ will take the responsibility of protecting Hamas leaders, officers, and personnel as long as they are staying in the capital city of Baghdad for ceasefire talks.
Hamas leaders will temporarily leave Qatar for Iraq to discuss the crucial truce in Gaza.
Plans for a proposed meeting concerning the Gaza ceasefire were discussed by Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh together with the representatives from Iran and Iraq last month.
Iraq has welcomed the idea of Hamas maintaining a high-profile presence in the country.
Talks on securing a deal between Israel and Hamas to agree on a ceasefire have been met with obstacles. Negotiations led to a deadlock in recent months as both sides made their respective demands.
Death toll in war-torn Gaza has exceeded 37,000 since fighting started in October, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
