Hamas has released its response to U.S. President Donald Trump"s Gaza Peace Plan following consultations with its leadership, factions, and mediators. The group expressed appreciation for the efforts made by Arab, Islamic, and international communities, as well as Trump"s initiatives aimed at ending the war, facilitating aid, rejecting occupation, and preventing displacement.

In its response, Hamas agreed to release all Israeli prisoners, both living and deceased, under Trump"s proposed exchange formula, contingent on the fulfillment of field conditions. The group also indicated its readiness for immediate negotiations.

Additionally, Hamas stated its agreement to transfer the administration of Gaza to a Palestinian technocrat body, which would be established based on national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic nations.

Hamas noted that other issues outlined in Trump"s plan, including the future of Gaza and Palestinian rights, necessitate a broader national position and an international legal framework. For more details, see Hamas submits response to Trump"s Gaza Peace Deal to mediators.
