Washington D.C. - Former President Donald Trump has stated that Hamas has approximately three to four days to respond to a newly unveiled peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The announcement came during a White House press conference held Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We’re going to do about three or four days. We’ll see how it is,” Trump told reporters, outlining the timeframe for a response from the Palestinian resistance group. He further asserted that all Arab and Muslim countries, alongside Israel, have already expressed their support for the proposal.
“We’re just waiting for Hamas, and Hamas is either going to be doing it or not – and if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end,” Trump added, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Details of the 20-Point Plan
The proposed 20-point plan seeks to achieve a resolution to the conflict through a multi-faceted approach. Key components include:
- The release of all Israeli captives held by Hamas.
- An exchange involving the release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners currently held by Israel.
- The complete disarmament of Hamas.
- A gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
- The establishment of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee to govern the Gaza enclave.
Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
The conflict, which began in October 2023, has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.According to reports,over 66,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army,with the majority of casualties being women and children. The relentless bombardment has left the enclave largely uninhabitable, leading to widespread starvation and the rapid spread of disease.
The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a swift and peaceful resolution to the conflict. The coming days will be critical as Hamas considers the proposed peace plan.
