Hamas Hails US-Iran Deal to End Middle East War
Hamas said the agreement could help end violence in Gaza, while Palestinians warned the territory was missing from initial U.S. and Iranian statements.
- On Monday, the United States and Iran announced a framework agreement brokered by Pakistan, with President Donald Trump describing the understanding as a "great deal" bringing "peace and security to the region."
- Hamas welcomed the announced memorandum, congratulating Iran for its "steadfasteness" and expressing hope the agreement will enhance regional stability and end aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
- In Gaza City, residents expressed concern that the coastal enclave remains excluded from the broader understanding, with civil servant Ahmed Abu noting Gaza was not explicitly mentioned in the announcement.
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz stated on Monday that Israeli forces would remain in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza indefinitely, while at least 992 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since last year.
- The full memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, though observers fear that if the US-Iran crisis ends while Gaza remains, international attention on the conflict may decrease.
