Hamas seemed to retreat to the critical aspects of President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, just hours after the world celebrated the release of all 20 live hostages. Hamas’s best official said that the group would not give up their weapons or give up control of the Gaza band.
“Not prisoners of Israel’s conditions”
Al-Arabiya, a spokesman for Haz Qasso, said on Monday: “We do not have to limit ourselves to Israeli conditions and definitions related to weapons. We will not be captivated by Israeli conditions or requirements.
Qasso reaffirmed the long -term position of Hamas that the group will maintain their weapons and management over Gaza until the path for Palestinian statehood is outlined.
Relaxing the 20 -point Trump and Hostage Plan
Trump’s peace plan, which facilitated the release of all hostages on Monday, includes the provisions of how Gaza should follow as soon as Hamas cedes checks. However, details of implementation remain unresolved.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly rejected any agreement that could result in a Palestinian state, and stressed that Hamas had to disarm to remain valid.
Hamas open limited administrative role
Although Qasso resisted full disarmament and loss of control, he indicated that Hamas could allow Palestinian technocrats to control parts of the Gaza band in accordance with the trump proposals.
He also designed a potential role for the Palestinian authority (PA) on the administration of the West Bank. “Despite all our criticism, we believe that (PA) is one of the national addresses, and we are ready to open a new page with it or to open a new page with Gaza residents with political forces, and it was really sincere to achieve shared political understanding,” Qassem said.
