Hamas Weighs Conditional Backing for U.S. Gaza Plan as Regional Mediation Intensifies

Signals of a tentative nod highlight Palestinian demands for a clear timeline plus roughly $80 billion in reconstruction funding.

Overview

  • Egypt’s Diaa Rashwan said Hamas is seriously reviewing President Donald Trump’s 20-point proposal and may accept it with reservations, as Cairo, Doha and Ankara steer the talks.
  • Former Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Ishtiyeh warned the plan lacks operational detail and timelines, estimating about $80 billion for rebuilding with $20 billion needed urgently in the first three years.
  • GCC Secretary-General Jassem Al-Budaiwi stated Gulf states are ready to be partners in a real settlement, while questioning whether Israel’s government will accept the plan’s terms and noting any potential force would be best under a UN mandate and is not a current option.
  • Analysts and officials cautioned that past donor pledges to Gaza often arrived late or fell short, underscoring the risk that promised funds may not quickly translate into cash for projects.
  • Jordan’s Islamic Action Front and other Muslim Brotherhood factions issued statements attacking the initiative, even as regional voices urge pragmatic engagement to halt the bloodshed and enable reconstruction.
