Gaza: Hamas accepts the hosts of hostage – Trump appeals to Israel

According to the reaction of the Islamist Hamas to his peace plan, US President Donald Trump calls an immediate end of the bombing of the Gaza Strip. “Israel must immediately set the bombing of Gaza so that we can free the hostages!”, The Republican wrote on the Truth Social. At the moment that is far too dangerous.

There were already details in discussions about the details to be worked out, Trump said. “This is not just about the Gaza Strip, but about the long -awaited peace in the Middle East.” The US President also emphasized: “Due to the explanation that has just been published by the Hamas, I believe that they are ready for permanent peace.”

Shortly before, the Islamist Hamas had accepted parts of Trump’s plan for ending the Gaza War, including fundamentally the release of all hostages. Hamas also called for further negotiations. Hours before that, Trump again set a deadline for the approval of Hamas until Monday at midnight MESZ (Washington Sunday evening 6 p.m.).

The Hamas now said that the priority provided for the release of the hostages was the dismissal of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons provided for and that “appropriate conditions for the exchange on site are guaranteed”. She did not explain these conditions in more detail.

Trump’s plan also provides that the Israeli army gradually withdraws from the Gaza Strip. Hamas should not be involved in the future administration of the coastal area. Hamas members who give up their weapons and promise “peaceful coexistence” can receive or leave the plan for Amnesty. Israel must neither annex the Gaza Strip nor occupy permanently.

No Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip should be forced to leave; Departure and return should take place on a voluntary basis. An international stabilization group (ISF) should ensure security and at the same time train Palestinian police forces.

For the reconstruction of the area largely destroyed in two years of war, an internationally financed “Trump plan for economic development”, investments and a special economic zone are planned to create jobs. In the long term, this should promote peace with an “inter -religious exchange” and, after reforming the Palestinian Authority (PA), open a perspective for a Palestinian state.

The war was triggered by the massacre in Israel carried out by terrorists of Hamas and other organizations, in which around 1,200 people were killed on October 7, 2023 and more than 250 others were dragged into the Gaza strips as hostages.

According to the health authority controlled by the Hamas, more than 66,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, including numerous women and children.

Trump’s plan met with approval internationally. The Palestinian Authority (PA), which manages parts of the West Bank, also praised the US peace plan. A comprehensive agreement on the end of the Gaza War would also pave the way for a two-state solution, the PA said.

Right -wing extremist coalition partners Netanyahus, on the other hand, reacted with sharp criticism – they had called for an annexation and resettlement of the coastal strip, from which Israel had withdrawn 20 years ago.
