Hamas Details Response to Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan
the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has issued an official statement outlining its position and final decision regarding the peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Palestinian Samaa News Agency.
Hamas stated that this decision follows extensive consultations with internal leadership bodies, Palestinian groups and factions, as well as mediating and amiable countries.
The group emphasized that the primary goal of its stance is the immediate halt to ongoing aggression, war, and what it described as genocide against the people of Gaza. This position is grounded in principles, rights, and the supreme interests of the Palestinian nation.
Recognition of Efforts by Islamic and Arab countries
In its statement, Hamas expressed thankfulness for regional efforts by Islamic and Arab countries along with international initiatives-especially those by President Trump-which aim to stop armed conflict promptly, facilitate urgent aid deliveries, oppose occupation, and prevent forced displacement. The group outlined key points necessary for achieving a full withdrawal of occupiers and a extensive ceasefire:
Full Release of Israeli Prisoners According to Trump’s Exchange Formula
Hamas agrees to release all Israeli prisoners-both living detainees and remains. This release must comply with the exchange formula presented in Trump’s plan and be contingent on fulfilling necessary field conditions for a successful exchange.
The movement declared its readiness to promptly enter negotiations on these exchange details through mediators.
Gaza Governance by an Independent Palestinian (Technocratic) Association
Hamas reaffirmed its agreement to transfer governance of the Gaza Strip to an independent Palestinian organization comprised of technocrats. This body should be formed based on national consensus among Palestinians and enjoy regional support.
The Future Status of Gaza Subject to National Consensus
The movement stressed that other issues raised in Trump’s plan concerning Gaza’s future status and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people must be addressed within a comprehensive unified national framework.
Hamas added that these decisions should adhere strictly to international laws and resolutions.As part of this national framework, Hamas will participate responsibly in all discussions and deliberations.
