TEHRAN (Defapress) - The head of the CIA, William Burns, announced that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is an idea and a movement that cannot be eliminated easily.

He added: According to my experience, the only way to destroy an idea is to create a better one.

These statements of the head of the CIA were made in the context of his talks about the ceasefire in Gaza because according to informed sources, the US is preparing a new proposal to present to Hamas and Israel with the help of Egypt and Qatar.

William Burns said about the possibility of a ceasefire agreement between the Zionist regime and Hamas that 90 percent of the text required for the first phase of the three phases of the ceasefire agreement presented by President Biden, has been completed but it is hard to complete the rest of it.

He further claimed that the American government will present a new proposal this week to cover the existing gaps. Although American and Western officials confessed that Netanyahu is the main obstacle to achieving a ceasefire agreement, the head of the CIA wants to increase the pressure on Hamas to accept the agreement.
