Important Statement
On Hamas’ Response to US President Trump’s Proposal
To protect our steadfast people in Gaza from aggression and the ongoing campaign of extermination, and out of national responsibility and concern for our people’s principles, rights, and higher interests, the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” conducted in-depth consultations within its leadership, with Palestinian factions, and with trusted mediators and friends, to reach a responsible position regarding US President Donald Trump’s proposal.
After thorough study, the movement made its decision and delivered the following response to the mediators:
Hamas appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of US President Donald Trump, calling for an immediate halt to the war on Gaza, prisoner exchanges, the entry of humanitarian aid, rejection of occupation, and rejection of the displacement of our Palestinian people.
In this framework, and to achieve a complete cessation of hostilities and full withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas agrees to release all prisoners held by Israel, including bodies, under the exchange formula proposed by President Trump. Hamas also confirms its readiness to enter immediate negotiations through mediators to discuss the details of the exchange.
The movement also reaffirms its approval to transfer the administration of Gaza to a Palestinian technocratic authority, based on national consensus and Arab-Islamic support.
Regarding other issues in Trump’s proposal related to Gaza’s future and the authentic rights of the Palestinian people, Hamas stated that these matters are linked to a comprehensive national position and relevant international laws and resolutions. Hamas will participate in a national Palestinian framework and contribute responsibly.
