US EditionHamas Open to Parts of Trump Peace Deal to End Gaza War
Hamas shows tentative acceptance of key peace plan elements including hostage exchanges and aid, while seeking amendments amid regional and international pressure, experts say.
- On Friday, Hamas indicated it could accept the Trump administration's 20-point plan and said it was ready to release Israeli hostages under the exchange formula within 72 hours.
- Under the proposal, Gaza would be governed by a temporary technocratic Palestinian committee supervised by an international transitional body led by President Trump, with reciprocal hostage exchanges and aid.
- AFP, news agency reported Hamas officials recently sought amendments to disarmament clauses, while a senior Hamas official said they would not disarm before the occupation ends.
- The announcement intensified international pressure, with neighbouring Arab states and Muslim-majority countries likely pressing forcefully, while President Trump demanded Israel stop bombing Gaza for safe hostage evacuation.
- Interviews show Palestinians are cautiously optimistic for relief after an Israeli campaign that killed more than 60,000 Gazans, but past temporary ceasefires in November 2023 and earlier this year highlight uncertainty.
