Hamas has welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts, alongside Arab, Islamic, and international actors, to halt the war, deliver humanitarian aid, oppose occupation, and prevent forced displacement.
The group said it is prepared to release all Israeli prisoners, alive or deceased, under Trump’s proposed exchange formula once conditions on the ground are met, signalling readiness for urgent negotiations.
Hamas also agreed to hand over Gaza’s administration to a Palestinian technocratic authority based on national consensus and Arab/Islamic support.
On other issues in Trump’s plan, including Gaza’s future and Palestinian rights, Hamas stressed that broader national consensus and international legal frameworks are required.
The statement follows a hardline ultimatum from President Trump, who set a Sunday 6 p.m. Washington, D.C. deadline for Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal with Israel. He warned that failure to agree would trigger “all HELL, like no one has ever seen before” against the group, adding that “THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.”
The White House has not yet clarified the full terms of the deal or which countries have formally signed on, and it remains unclear whether Israel has endorsed the agreement. Hamas has not publicly responded to the ultimatum. Talks brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. have repeatedly stalled amid ongoing Israeli operations in southern Gaza.
