US EditionHamas official tells BBC it will reject Trump ceasefire plan; Gaza leader signals mixed messages
Hamas’s military commander rejects the U.S.-led peace plan citing lack of real commitments and hostage demands, highlighting a split with political leaders and complicating ceasefire efforts.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump unveiled a twenty-point Gaza peace plan at the White House proposing an immediate end to fighting and hostage release, endorsed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The proposal requires Hamas to disarm and accept a foreign-led interim government including Tony Blair and President Donald Trump, which Hamas officials said is unacceptable, prompting internal debate earlier this week.
- Ezz al-Din al-Hadad, the Gaza military commander, has rejected the plan and vowed to continue the war, holding the remaining 48 hostages and refusing any deal that compromises Hamas's power.
- With a Saturday response demanded, mediators report al-Hadad's defiance has badly damaged talks, as President Donald Trump warned rejection would bring `a very sad end` and might let Israel `finish the job`.
- More than 66,000 people have been killed in Gaza, intensifying calls for a ceasefire and aid since October 7, 2023, while regional mediators Egypt and Qatar push to revive the two-state solution.
