International Desk, (EFE). – Hamas announced Friday it has decided to release all Israeli hostages under the terms presented by United States President Donald Trump and indicated its willingness to negotiate the details of the peace agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn this framework, and in a manner that guarantees an end to the war and a full withdrawal from the Strip, the movement announces its agreement to release all the hostages, both the living and the bodies, in accordance with the exchange formula included in President Trump\u2019s proposal,\u201d said Hamas\u2019 statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe movement emphasizes its readiness to immediately enter, through the mediators, into negotiations on the details of the arrangement,\u201d it added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group also said it had agreed “to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats), based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support,” Hamas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it pointed out, “The other issues mentioned in President Trump\u2019s proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the inherent rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position and based on relevant international laws and resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding that “they are to be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework. Hamas will be part of it and will contribute to it with full responsibility.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump\u2019s peace plan was accepted by Israel and welcomed internationally, but key mediators, Egypt and Qatar, also stated that some elements require further negotiation, without elaborating on the specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time,” Trump wrote Friday on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 20-point plan Trump presented on Monday proposes an immediate end to the war, the release of Hamas hostages, and the formation of a transitional government for Gaza that would be supervised by the US president and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair (1997-2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This roadmap also envisages the demilitarization of the Strip and the possibility of negotiating a Palestinian state in the future, something that has been ruled out, however, by the Israeli prime minister. EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
