Hamas Backs Gaza Ceasefire Framework as Trump Sets Tight Timeline for Hostage Releases

Israel says it has begun the plan’s first stage to secure the captives.

Overview

  • Hamas says a ceasefire is the central element of President Trump’s 20‑point proposal and declares readiness to free all living hostages and return bodies through intermediary talks.
  • Trump warns that offers will be withdrawn without swift action and says he is grateful for a temporary halt in Israeli strikes to enable releases.
  • Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomes Hamas’s statements and Trump’s initiative, saying he is working to finalize details and will cooperate constructively.
  • Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praises Hamas’s response as opening a window for durable peace and highlights ongoing Turkish humanitarian and diplomatic efforts.
  • Hamas and other Palestinian factions say Gaza’s future governance must be decided in a nationwide dialogue, while a senior Hamas official calls the plan’s 72‑hour release target unrealistic under current conditions.
