Hamas expresses readiness to implement US-backed Gaza peace plan
Hamas has expressed its readiness to implement a US-backed peace plan for the Gaza Strip, provided that Israel approves and adheres to the agreement. The plan, introduced by US President Donald Trump, links the disarmament of Hamas to a gradual withdrawal of Israeli military forces from Palestinian territories.
Nikolai Mladenov, a senior representative of the Peace Council, stated that Israel would only withdraw following the complete disarmament of Hamas. Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the proposed roadmap, facing significant domestic opposition during his reelection campaign.
Hamas officials have called on the United States government to pressure Israel to honor the agreement. Meanwhile, reported casualties since the October ceasefire include 1,257 Palestinians according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and five Israeli soldiers according to the Israeli military. Recent reports from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis also noted three individuals injured by Israeli gunfire.
