Hamas has begun questioning Trump's plan, and it may take days to respond
The US president has given the Palestinian group "three or four days" to decide whether to accept the peace plan.
The Palestinian Hamas group began consultations with its political and military leaders on the peace plan presented yesterday by US President Donald Trump, and the response may take "a few days," according to an Islamist party source.
The round of consultations is taking place both in Palestine and abroad and the response will be "national". However, given the complexity of communication between the members of the movement, this response will be delayed "a few days".
The informant stressed that the party "intends to reach a comprehensive agreement to stop the war and attack, ensure the complete withdrawal of Israel from the Gaza Strip, end the blockade imposed since 2007 and rebuild the Strip".
For his part, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Hamas has "three or four days" to respond tothe peace plan presented by the Republican on Monday.
If not, "it will be a sad end," the American said, handing over the entire burden of Gaza's future to Hamas.
Today, the spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majed al Ansari, stated that "it is still early" for Hamas to respond to the plan, but that the mediating country is "optimistic."
Hamas negotiators will meet tonight in Doha and "a Turkish delegation will participate," according to Al Ansari.
Trump's proposal envisages an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, the complete release of hostages in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and the sending of humanitarian aid through the United Nations.
It also provides for the complete disarmament of Hamas (which would be excluded from the governance of the Strip) and the establishment of a transitional government composed of Palestinian technocrats and international experts under the supervision of the "Peace Commission".
