… based on national responsibility and concern for the fundamentals, rights, and supreme interests of our people, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has held in-depth consultations within its leadership institutions, extensive consultations with Palestinian forces and factions, and consultations with mediators and friends to reach a responsible position in dealing with US President Donald Trump's plan.
After a thorough study, the movement made its decision and submitted the following response to the mediating brothers:
(The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of US President Donald Trump, calling for an end to the war on the Gaza Strip, an exchange of prisoners, the immediate entry of aid, the rejection of the occupation of the Gaza Strip, and the displacement of our Palestinian people from it.
In this context, and in order to achieve a cessation of hostilities and a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, the movement announces its agreement to release all Israeli prisoners, both living and dead, according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal, provided the field conditions for the exchange are met. In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss the details of this agreement.
The movement also renews its agreement to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats), based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support.
The other issues mentioned in President Trump's proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the inherent rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position and based on relevant international laws and resolutions. They are to be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework. Hamas will be part of it and will contribute to it with full responsibility.

IDF ordered to halt offensive maneuvers in Gaza City; Palestinians report some continued strikes
[IsraelTimes] The IDF has been ordered to halt offensive operations in Gaza City amid a push by US President Donald Trump to bring about an end to the war, The Times of Israel has confirmed.
However, the military is still carrying out defensive operations, and the IDF said earlier that Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir instructed troops to “remove any threat.”
Palestinian media reports that some strikes are ongoing
Four Palestinians are killed in a strike in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, and artillery shelling was carried out in an area north of Bureij in central Gaza and in the Khan Younis area in the Strip’s south, according to Palestinian media.
The IDF overnight put out a statement saying “per the order of the political echelon,” Zamir instructed troops to gear up “for the implementation of the first stage of Trump’s plans to free the hostages,” without detailing what the order entailed, after meeting with top generals for “a special situational assessment in light of the developments.”
Trump says he believes Hamas ‘ready for peace,’ demands Israel ‘immediately stop bombing of Gaza’
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump says that after reviewing Hamas’s response to his proposal for ending the Gaza war, he now believes that the terror group is “ready for lasting peace” and that therefore “Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza so that we can get the hostages out safely and quickly.”
“Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that,” Trump writes in a shocking Truth Social post.
This is the first time since returning to office that Trump has called on Israel to halt its military offensive in Gaza.
“We are already in discussions on details to be worked out,” he adds.
“This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump says, reiterating his belief that an end to the war in Gaza will pave way for the expansion of the Abraham Accords.
