Trump calls on Israel to stop Gaza strikes as Hamas conditionally backs peace plan

GAZA: The Palestinian resistance organization Hamas has conditionally accepted US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan.

The resistance organization Hamas has submitted its response to US President Donald’s Gaza ceasefire plan.

Al Jazeera reported in a message on social media, citing informed sources, that Hamas has submitted its response to President Trump’s plan to the mediators.

Reacting to the Trump plan, Hamas said in its latest statement that it is ready to release all Israeli prisoners in exchange for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces.

The statement issued by Hamas said that it is ready to engage in negotiations through mediators to discuss the details of the issue.

The organization stated that it is willing to hand over the administration of Gaza to an independent and impartial institution consisting of Palestinian technocrats.

This institution will be established on the basis of a national consensus and with the support of the Arab and Islamic communities.

The statement added that the other points included in President Trump’s proposal regarding the future of Gaza and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a common national position, international laws and resolutions.

Hamas said that these issues will be resolved under a comprehensive Palestinian national structure, in which Hamas will play its responsible participation and role.

Hamas expressed reservations about some points of the Trump plan and rejected the proposed role of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Meanwhile, senior Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzouk made it clear that Hamas will not be disarmed before the end of the Israeli occupation, and that handing over control of Gaza within 72 hours is unrealistic.

Trump Social Media Statement

It should be remembered that US President Donald Trump had given the Palestinian resistance organization a deadline to accept the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Donald Trump said in a message on social media that Hamas has until 6 pm on Sunday to sign the agreement.

Trump said that this is the last chance for Hamas to make a deal; other countries have already signed the deal.

The US president threatened Hamas that if Hamas fails to make a deal, it will face severe consequences, while making a deal will save the lives of Hamas fighters.

Hamas Ready for Lasting Peace

After Hamas’s reaction to the peace plan was revealed, US President Donald Trump said that Hamas’s latest statement shows that it is ready for lasting peace.

He stressed that Israel should immediately stop bombing Gaza so that the hostages can be evacuated quickly and safely, because doing so in the current situation is extremely dangerous.

Trump said that discussions are currently underway on the details of the negotiations. Trump said that this is not just a matter of Gaza, but of establishing long-awaited peace throughout the Middle East.

The US president also released a video message on social media in which he thanked the countries that helped make this possible.

President Trump said that he thanked Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and others. This is a big day; we have been given a lot of help.

The US president said that everyone was united for an end to the war and peace in the Middle East and we are very close to achieving it; justice will be done to everyone.

Qatar and Egypt welcome the Hamas Statement

Qatar and Egypt, which played a role in mediating the Gaza ceasefire, welcomed Hamas’s statement on the Trump plan.

According to the Qatari Foreign Ministry, they welcome Hamas’s decision to express their willingness to release the hostages.

The spokesman said that they also support President Trump’s call for an immediate ceasefire so that the bloodshed in Gaza can end and the hostages can be safely released.

The statement added that contacts have been initiated with Egypt and the US to continue discussions on a plan to reach an end to the Gaza war.

Egypt says that it hopes for positive progress after Hamas’s response to Trump’s Gaza plan. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that all efforts will be made to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza with Arab countries, the United States and European countries.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described Hamas’s statement in response to the Trump plan as encouraging.

Antonio Guterres stressed that all parties should seize the opportunity to end the war in Gaza.
