Hamas responds to Trump’s Gaza proposal

GAZA, Oct. 04 (YPA) -The Islamic Resistance Movement ” Hamas’, has announced that it has accepted parts of a proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump, after conducting extensive consultations with various factions.

In a statement released on Friday, Hamas said the decision was made “out of keenness to stop the aggression and the war of extermination against the steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, and was based on national responsibility and out of concern for the constants, rights, and supreme interests of our people.”

The Movement appreciated the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of US President Donald Trump, calling for an end to the war on Gaza, a prisoner exchange, the immediate entry of aid, rejection of the occupation of Gaza, and rejection of the displacement of Palestinian people from it.

“In this framework, and in a manner that achieves an end to the war and a full withdrawal from the Strip, the movement announces its approval to release all occupation prisoners — both living and remains — according to the exchange formula outlined in President Trump’s proposal, with the necessary field conditions ensured for the exchange process. In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter negotiations through mediators to discuss the details,” the statement read.

The Movement also renewed its approval to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on national Palestinian consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing.

Hamas clarified that “As for the other issues in Trump’s proposal relating to the future of Gaza and the inherent rights of the Palestinian people, these are tied to a collective national position and to relevant international laws and resolutions. They will be discussed through a comprehensive Palestinian national framework in which Hamas will participate and contribute responsibly.”
