The group has agreed to release Israeli hostages. The Palestinian Hamas movement has replied to the proposal for a peaceful settlement in the Gaza Strip by U.S. President Donald Trump. Reuters, Axios reporter Barak Ravid, and the Al Jazeera network report this. According to these sources, Hamas's leadership has agreed to: - release all living Israeli hostages and hand over the bodies of those killed in accordance with Trump's conditions, - immediately begin negotiations through mediators to discuss the details of the plan, - hand over the governance of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority: "We appreciate President Trump’s efforts to halt the fighting," the Hamas statement, quoted by Axios, said. The statement also notes that other issues will be resolved within the framework of a comprehensive Palestinian national body, in which Hamas will participate and contribute. The U.S. had published on September 29 Trump’s plan to stop the war between Israel and Hamas. It envisions a temporary external administration in the Gaza Strip, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Israel and others almost immediately expressed their support for this plan. Hamas had not yet stated its position. Earlier, on October 3, Trump, amid the Hamas movement’s silence, had given a deadline by the end of this week to seal a deal in the Gaza Strip.
