In a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Hamas has announced its agreement to release all remaining Israeli hostages, both dead and alive, in response to a proposal put forth by President Donald Trump. The militant group’s decision comes after Trump issued an ultimatum, demanding that Hamas agree to the terms of his peace plan by Sunday evening.
According to a report by The New York Times, Hamas has accepted some elements of Trump’s plan, including relinquishing power and releasing all hostages. However, the group has indicated that further consultations among Palestinians are needed to address other aspects of the proposal concerning Gaza’s future and the rights of the Palestinian people.
Sky News further elaborates on Hamas’s position, stating that while the group has agreed to release the hostages, it seeks additional discussions on certain points outlined in Trump’s peace deal. The move by Hamas marks a potential step towards resolving the conflict in Gaza, which has been ongoing for nearly two years.
In response to Hamas’s announcement, President Trump took to his Truth Social account to express his views, emphasizing the need to solidify the agreement. Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India praised Trump’s efforts in facilitating the release of the hostages, calling it a significant step towards peace in the region.
While the agreement to release hostages is a positive development, it is important to note that further negotiations and discussions will be required to address the broader issues surrounding the conflict in Gaza. The willingness of Hamas to engage in dialogue and consider elements of Trump’s peace plan could potentially pave the way for a more comprehensive resolution to the conflict.
As the situation continues to evolve, it is crucial for all parties involved to remain committed to constructive dialogue and peaceful negotiations to achieve lasting peace in the region.
