"Hamas said on Friday it would agree to some aspects of Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war, including releasing hostages and handing over administration of the enclave, but that it would seek negotiations over many of its other terms. In a copy of the statement seen by Reuters, Hamas issued its response to Trump's 20-point plan after the US president gave the Palestinian militant group until Sunday to accept or reject the proposal."
"In its statement, Hamas said it appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of US President Donald Trump, calling for an end to the war on the Gaza Strip, the exchange of prisoners[and] the immediate entry of aid, among other terms. It said it was announcing its approval of releasing all occupation prisoners both living and remains according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal, with the necessary field conditions for implementing the exchange."
Hamas will agree to some aspects of Donald Trump's Gaza plan, including releasing hostages and handing over administration of the enclave, while seeking negotiations on other terms. The group did not specify whether it would accept disarmament, a demand by Israel and the United States that it previously rejected. The response thanked Arab, Islamic, international, and US efforts calling for an end to the Gaza war, prisoner exchanges, and immediate aid entry. Approval was announced for releasing occupation prisoners, both living and remains, according to the exchange formula with necessary field conditions. Readiness was indicated to enter mediator-led negotiations and to transfer Gaza administration to a technocratic Palestinian body.
