The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has said it will "shortly" announce its position on US President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza this week, but has stressed that it will not accept "threats, orders, or pressure," after international governments and organizations have received a request to approve, among other things, an interim governing body chaired by Trump.

Mohamed Nazzal, one of his leaders, explained in an interview with the Al Yazira network that Hamas's response "will not be delayed" and will take into account Palestinian interests and strategic and political issues.

In this regard, it has reiterated that the movement "does not accept the logic of threats, impositions and pressures made as Damocles' sword" and has reiterated its commitment to reaching agreements, which it considers to be "time blood", referring to the 66,000 Palestinians killed by Israel two years after the Hamas attacks of 7 October.

Nevertheless, Nazzal has stated that he has much to say about the "attributed" plan to the White House tenant, who arrived in Hamas on Monday night, rejecting that the ceasefire implies a "renunciation" of Palestinian rights. In this regard, he has defended Hamas's right to make allegations about the 20-point plan in a framework of "dialogue and debate."

The US president has declared that he has given Hamas "three or four days" to respond to his proposal for a ceasefire agreement in the Palestinian enclave, the day after he presented it at a joint press conference in Washington with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Among the 20 points of the peace plan is an interim governing body involving former British Prime Minister Tony Blair; the establishment of a transitional body for Palestinian and foreign technocrats and apolitics to manage the Gazatian administration without the presence of Hamas; the release of all hostages; the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave under the agreement of 19 January; and the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment by Israel and 1,700 Gazatis detained on 7 October 2023.
