Hamas has accepted some points of the plan of US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, after which Trump ordered Israel to stop the bombing immediately. Hamas has said that he will release the hostages and hand over the power to other Palestinians, although some other points of the plan will have a detailed discussion between the Palestinians.
Senior Hamas officials said that there are some major disagreements that need detailed discussion. Welcoming Hamas’s decision, Trump wrote, “I think they are ready for long -term peace.” He wrote on social media, “Israel will have to stop the bombing in Gaza immediately to release the hostages safe and quickly. It would be very dangerous to continue the attack at the moment. ”Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is preparing to implement the ‘first phase’ of Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza.
The Prime Minister said in a statement released on Saturday that Israel would support Trump to end the war as per his principles. A statement issued by Hamas said that the decision on the aspects of Gaza’s future and the proposal related to Palestinian rights will be taken on the basis of the consensus of other factions and international law. The statement has not mentioned any mention about Hamas’s arms, which was a major demand for Israel in Trump’s proposal. The main mediators Egypt and Qatar have welcomed the latest developments.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al Ansari said that he would continue the discussion on the plan. A spokesperson of the United Nations Mahasichava Antonio Gutaras called upon all the parties to use this opportunity to end the ongoing war in Gaza. French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on social media that the release of all the hostages and the ceasefire in Gaza is close. The main organization representing the families of the Israeli hostages said that the demand for the trump to stop the fight is necessary to protect the hostage from serious and irreversible damage. The organization called for Netanyahu to “start meaningful talks immediately to bring back all the hostages”. Earlier, Trump had warned that Hamas would have to approve the scheme by Sunday evening, otherwise more military action will be taken.
Trump wrote on social media on Friday, “If there is no success in this last occasion of the agreement, then Hamas will wreak havoc as has never been seen before. West Asia will have peace in any way.” Trump had introduced a plan to end the war in Gaza Strip after a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week. Under this scheme, Hamas will hand over the remaining 48 hostages to Israel within three days, out of which about 20 are expected to die. Apart from this, Hamas will have to give up power and put arms. Instead, the Israeli attack will stop and withdraw from most of the regions of Gaza. At the same time, Israel will have to leave hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and approve the supply of human help for reconstruction of Gaza. The plan to transfer most of Gaza to other countries will be postponed. Under the agreement, the administration of Gaza will be assigned to a temporary, technical and non-political planetary body, which will be monitored by the “Board of Peace”. The body will be headed by President Donald J. Trump and other global leaders including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will be made members. Under the agreement, regional partners will guarantee that Hamas and other groups will not violate the agreement and Gaza will not be a threat to anyone.
Under this, the US will deploy an international stabilization force (ISF) in Gaza, along with the US, Arab countries and international partners, who will train and maintain security. The plan states that Israel will not capture Gaza nor make it its part. Once the ISF ensures stability, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) will step down from the region, except those border areas that will remain under control until the final security is ensured.
