US President Donald Trump called on Israel to an immediate end of bombing on Gaza, warning that the continuation of military operations is complicating the hostage issue and making them out under war “extremely dangerous.”
Trump: Hamas has shown peace
Trump explained that the recent Hamas movement reflects “in preparation for peace”, stressing that the issue is not related to Gaza alone, but rather a long -awaited comprehensive peace in the Middle East. He stressed that the American administration has already started discussing the details of the Gaza plan, expecting a close agreement.
Hamas replied: Conditional approval and confirmation of constants
For its part, Hamas announced that it appreciates international and Arab efforts to stop the war, and affirmed its approval to release all detainees and bodies according to the exchange formula mentioned in the Trump proposal, as it is ready to enter immediately in negotiations across mediators to discuss the details.
The movement also renewed its confirmation of handing over the Gaza Strip administration to an independent Palestinian body of technocrats with national consensus and with Arab and Islamic support, but it stressed that issues related to the future of Gaza and the rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position, and are not within their jurisdiction alone.
Weapons and peacekeepers files are under negotiation
The movement’s leader stated that arms issues and peacekeeping forces cannot be resolved unilaterally, but rather need clear understandings. He explained that Hamas agreed to the outlines of the plan as a principle, but its application depends on negotiation and detail.
An open diplomatic path
Trump’s statements, Hamas, open the door to a new negotiating path that may end the ongoing war on Gaza and rearrange the Palestinian political scene, amid regional and international anticipation of how these statements are translated into practical steps.
