US EditionEgypt Trying to Convince Hamas to Accept Trump Plan, Says Foreign Minister
Hamas is consulting Palestinian factions and regional mediators to formulate a unified response to the 20-point Gaza plan aiming for ceasefire and demilitarization.
- On October 1, 2025, Mohammad Nazzal said Hamas held intensive meetings to respond to the 20-point Gaza plan announced at the White House on Monday, which Trump summarized in a 100-word message via regional mediators.
- Formulated without Palestinian participation, the 20-point proposal excludes Hamas and the Palestinian Authority and requires Gaza's demilitarization tied to aid delivery and Israeli military presence.
- Within 72 hours, the plan requires Hamas to release all Israeli captives before Israel frees 250 Palestinians sentenced to life and 1,700 taken captive after October 7, 2023, with remains exchanges tied to 15 Palestinian bodies per deceased Israeli.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump set a short deadline, giving Hamas "three or four days" to respond while Israeli airstrikes targeted negotiators in Doha, killing family and staff members.
- Hamas calls the plan an assault on the Palestinian national cause and will consult Palestinian factions, ground commanders, Qassam Brigades, and Saraya al Quds to draft amendments.
