Deir Al-Bala, Gaza Strip (AP)-Hamas said on Friday that it had accepted some elements of US President Donald Trump’s plan to endThe war in the Gaza StripIncluding giving up power and issuing all the remaining hostages, but others need more consultations between the Palestinians.
The statement came hours after Trump said HamasYou must agree to the dealBy Sunday evening, a larger military attack threatened nearly two years in the war that ignited the October 7 attack to Israel. It was not clear how the United States and Israel would respond to partial acceptance.
Hamas said it was ready to restore all the remaining hostages according to the “formula” of the plan, which is likely to indicate the launch of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in return. He also repeated that his long openness to hand over power to a political independent political body.
But she said that the aspects of the proposal that touch the future of the Gaza Strip and Palestinian rights should be determined on the basis of a “unanimous Palestinian position” that was reached with other factions and based on international law.

Trump’s plan will end the fighting and hostage of the hostages
Trump appears to be keen to make pledges to end the war and return dozens of hostages before the second anniversary of the attack on Tuesday. The peace plan was accepted by Israel and welcomed it internationally, but the main intermediaries Egypt and Qatar said that some elements need more negotiation.
Trump wrote on Friday on social media: “An agreement with Hamas should be reached on Sunday evening at 6:00 pm, Washington, DC,” Trump wrote on Friday on social media. “Each country has signed! If the last opportunity agreement is not reached, all hell, as no one has seen before, will erupt against Hamas. There will be peace in the Middle East in one way or another.”
According to the plan, which was unveiled by Trump earlier this week besidesIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuHamas will immediately release 48 hostages – about 20 of them believed to be alive. It also abandons energy and disarmament.
On the other hand, Israel had stopped attacking and withdrawn from most of the lands, releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid and ultimately reconstruction.Plan to transfer many Gaza populationTo other countries will be hung.
About two million Palestinians will be placed under international governance, with Trump himself and the firstBritish Prime Minister Tony BlairSupervising it. The plan does not ultimately provide any way to unify the West Bank occupied by Israel in a future Palestinian state.
The Palestinians are eager to end the war, but many view this and the previous American proposals that prefer Israel strongly.
We and Israel seek to pressure Hamas
Israel has sought to increase pressure on Hamas since thenEnd of the ceasefire earlierIn March. The region has been closed from food, medicine and other commodities for two and a half months, and it has been largely forgotten.
Experts decided that Gaza CityCrink up to starvationShortly before Israel launched a major attack aimed at occupying it. An estimated 400,000 people have escaped from the city in recent weeks, but hundreds of other thousands have gone behind.
Olga Cherevco, a spokeswoman for the United Nations Humanitarian Office, said she had seen many displaced families staying in the parking lot at Shiva Hospital during a visit on Thursday.
“They are unable to move south because they cannot bear its costs,” Cherevko told Associated Press. “One of the families gave birth to three children and the woman was pregnant with her fourth. There were many other weak cases there, including the elderly and people with disabilities.”
Trump wrote that most of the Hamas fighters are “surrounded and trapped militarily, just waiting to give the word,” go “, so that their lives are extinguished quickly. As for the rest, we know where you are and who are you, and you will be caught, and they are killed.”
Most Hamas leaders in Gaza and thousands of its fighters have already been killed, butIt still has an effectIn the irreplaceable areas of the Israeli army and launched separate attacks that killed and wounded Israeli soldiers.
Hamas reserved firmly for its position that it would only issue the remaining hostages – the only bargaining segment and potential human shields – in exchange for a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal. Netanyahu rejected these conditions, saying that Hamas should surrender and remove his weapon.
The second anniversary reports
Thousands of militants led by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023 stormed the attack on the army, agricultural societies and the outdoor music festival, killing about 1,200 people, most of them civilians. They have kidnapped 251 others, most of them since they were released in the ceasefire or other deals.
The retaliation of Israel has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which does not say the number of civilians or fighters. It says that women and children are about half of the dead.
The ministry is part of the Hamas government, and the United Nations and many independent experts consider its numbers the most reliable appreciation of the war time losses.
The attack has succeeded in about 90 % of the population of Gaza, often several times, and left a lot of uninteresting lands.
Both Biden and Trump’s departments attempted to end the fighting and return the hostages while providing widespread military and diplomatic support to Israel.
