DOHA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center )Senior Hamas official Taher an-Nunu denied that the Movement had received any copy of the US proposal to end the war on Gaza.
In press statements on Monday evening, Al-Nunu said, “Hamas was not part of any negotiations concerning the current US plan.”
He clarified that the release of Israeli captives held by the Palestinian resistance is tied to ending the war and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation from Gaza. He emphasized that the resistance’s weapons are tied to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Al-Nunu affirmed Hamas’s readiness to agree to a multi-year truce and noted that the Movement had accepted Egypt’s proposal to form an independent administration for Gaza.
“We are serious about releasing the captives as part of an agreement that ends the war on Gaza and ensures the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation,” he added.
He confirmed Hamas is ready to coordinate with the Palestinian Authority to form a unity government to manage both Gaza and the West Bank.
He stressed that the Movement does not wish to prolong the war, adding that Hamas is “prepared to consider any proposal that does not conflict with the interests of the Palestinian people.”
He also emphasized that the Palestinian people are not incapable of self-governance and reject any external guardianship.
On Sunday, The Washington Post revealed details of US President Trump’s proposal to end the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has continued for two years.
According to the paper, the 21-point plan includes an immediate halt to all military operations and freezing of battle lines at their current positions.
Meanwhile, Hamas confirmed it had not received any new proposal from mediators regarding a ceasefire in Gaza.
In a statement, Hamas reiterated its willingness to positively and responsibly consider any proposals from mediators, so long as they safeguard the Palestinian people’s national rights.
