“Egypt is grateful to Hamas for his response to the US President’s plan and believes that by doing this, the movement has recognized the need to stop the war in Gaza and demonstrated that it wants to save civilian lives with enclaves,” the ministry said in a statement.
Cairo described it as “positive development,” ending hostilities in the Gaza Strip, liberating prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid to the enclave.
Previously, Trump announced his English response from Hamas to his proposal on Gaza. In it, the resistance says they are ready to release all Israeli prisoners held in the enclave and hand over the bodies of the dead. The movement “confirms that we are ready to enter immediately through the mediator and enter negotiations to discuss the details.”
The movement also confirmed it was ready to “put over the Gaza Strip regime to Palestinian independents (technocrats) based on the consensus of the Palestinian people and on Arab and Islamic support.” At the same time, Hamas said, “In regards to other issues included in President Trump’s proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the voluntary rights of the Palestinian people, this is tied to the collective national status.
On September 29, the White House announced the US President’s “comprehensive plan” to resolve the 20-point Gaza conflict. The proposal includes temporary external management of enclaves and the deployment of international stabilization forces. Israel has expressed support for the program.
