Donald Trump made it clear that Hamas has three to four days to respond to the draft submitted by Washington to end the war in Gaza.

As he said, the possibilities for negotiation are limited, as the basic demands remain clear: the release of all hostages and adherence to “good behavior” on the part of the organization.

“We are waiting for Hamas’ response,” the US president said, stressing that the proposal leaves little room for change.

Trump warned that if Hamas rejects the plan, then the United States will “let Israel do what it needs to do.”

At the same time, Hamas and other Palestinian groups appear receptive to President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and are expected to present their response to Egyptian and Qatari mediators on Wednesday, according to sources cited by CBS News.

The plan, unveiled by Trump at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, consists of a 20-point proposal. It calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all remaining hostages and several Palestinian prisoners in Israel, expanded humanitarian aid, and, subsequently, the transfer of Gaza’s administration to a transitional body of Palestinian technocrats. This administration would be overseen by an international “Peace Council” chaired by President Trump and including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

According to diplomatic sources, Egyptian and Qatari officials have handed Hamas a copy of the proposal. The plan stipulates that Israel would maintain security control over Gaza’s borders.

The Palestinian Authority, in a statement carried by the WAFA news agency, voiced support for the plan, stressing “the importance of cooperation with the United States to achieve peace.” It also reiterated its commitment to political reforms, including holding presidential and legislative elections within one year after the end of the war, and emphasized its vision for “a modern, democratic, non-militarized Palestinian state.”

Although the plan does not envision an immediate role for the Palestinian Authority in post-war Gaza, it states that the Authority could assume control once specific reforms are implemented.
