What strategy is Hamas employing in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations?

Specifically, Hamas aims to ensure Israel allows mobile homes, tents, and heavy equipment into Gaza as part of humanitarian aid commitments. Meanwhile, families of Israeli captives continue to apply pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize a deal that would secure the release of all remaining captives.
