US EditionHamas official tells BBC it will reject Trump ceasefire plan; Gaza leader signals mixed messages
Hamas criticizes the plan for favoring Israel and demands immediate hostage release; internal debates continue amid calls to respond within days, officials said.
- Soon after the plan was delivered, Hamas signalled it would reject U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan, saying it `serves Israel's interests and ignores those of the Palestinian people`, while internal talks including Islamic Jihad are expected to continue for several days.
- The U.S. plan contains ambiguous points critics say allow Israel freedom of action in Gaza and requires all hostages be released within 72 hours, which militants call their `only bargaining chip`.
- Hamas sources say the movement feels confused and calls the plan `unjust and unfair`, while Izz al-Din al-Haddad urges a `positive` approach despite his determination to keep fighting.
- Mediators have urged Hamas to respond within two days, and an Egyptian diplomat said initial approval could come soon, but Israeli officials expect a `yes, but` response prolonging talks.
- A senior Hamas figure said the group will not agree to disarmament, calling it `a new form of occupation`, while unresolved issues include withdrawal and Israeli movements during the three days of hostage release.
