An important Hamas response – but there is a major omission

The enthusiasm of approval of the release of the remaining hostages, albeit taking into account the negotiations and some of the conditions that are fulfilled, will give real hope to the family members of Israel who were desperate for this type of news for a very long time.

In its statement to respond to the American peace proposal, the group agreed to “the launch of all Israeli prisoners, whether they live or dead, according to the stock exchange form in the proposal of President Donald Trump, provided that the field conditions are met.”

This formula, which Trump has set at the White House earlier this week, suggests an immediate end to the fighting and release within 72 hours of all Israeli hostages that Hamas maintains – as well as the remains of the hostages who believe that they have died – compared to hundreds of detained Palestinians.

It is believed that there are 48 hostages who are still being held in the Palestinian territories by the armed group, and only 20 of them are alive.

It is also clear that the acceptance of Hamas from another major part of the American peace plan, the idea of ​​handing over Gaza’s governance to Palestinian technocrats, is also important.

But there are many other elements The prolonged proposal, 20 points That is blatant in their absence.

The most prominent of which is the requirements that Hamas places its arms.

The Israeli government will now color the statement of the statement to raise the true intention.

He will need to decide whether to see this as a real acceptance of some of the main points of the deal, or just an attempt to buy time and reopen long negotiations.

They will certainly not like the last paragraph of the Hamas statement, which indicates that the group will maintain a role in negotiations on the future of Gaza in the long term.

Given that the Hamas statement came a few hours after President Donald Trump issued his final warning to the group by Sunday evening or confronting “all hell”, some members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are likely to be deeply skeptical.

This is especially true now, and the US President has called on Israel to stop the bombing of Gaza immediately.

“Based on the statement issued by Hamas, I think they are ready for a permanent peace,” Trump said shortly after the Hamas statement.

“Israel must stop the bombing of Gaza immediately, so that we can quickly and quickly take out the hostages,” he said. “At the present time, it is very dangerous to do so.”

In a video message released later on Friday, Trump said he was a “big day” and thanked a series of countries that he said helped him put the proposal together.

But there is still a great deal of details that must be done before peace in the region becomes like a reality. It seems that the president admits that this was not an end.

“We will see how everything turns,” he said. “We have to get the last word and concrete.”
