Hamas <\/strong>says that it has responded to a ceasefire plan put forward by President Trump\u2019s envoy on Gaza, but did not make clear what its exact response was. <\/p>\n

In a statement Saturday, Hamas said that its \u201cproposal\u201d to the mediators \u2013 Qatar and Egypt \u2014 \u201caims to achieve a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and ensure the flow of aid to our people and our families in the Gaza Strip.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of this agreement, ten living Israeli prisoners held by the resistance will be released, in addition to the return of eighteen bodies, in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n

Negotiations toward a permanent ceasefire would begin immediately on the first day of the 60-day truce, according to the proposal. The terms of the agreement would also allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza \u201cimmediately\u201d and be distributed \u201cthrough agreed upon channels,\u201d including the United Nations and the Red Crescent, according to the proposal. <\/p>\n

But the draft agreement contained no intrinsic guarantee of a permanent end to the war, a key Hamas demand, nor assurances that the ceasefire will be extended as long as negotiations continue. Instead, it said that US President Donald Trump is \u201ccommitted to working to ensure that good faith negotiations continue until a final agreement is reached.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hamas had initially signaled reluctance to accept the terms of the deal. Bassem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said on Facebook Thursday that the framework did \u201cnot respond to any of our people\u2019s demands\u201d but that discussions were underway, nonetheless. <\/p>\n

This is a developing story and will be updated.<\/i> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
