Trump, Hamas, Israel Clash Over Gaza Peace Plan Interpretations

President Donald Trump announced a near-achievement of lasting peace following Hamas's conditional acceptance of his 20-point Gaza initiative, which includes the immediate release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the establishment of a Palestinian technocratic administration for Gaza. However, Hamas rejected key demands such as disarming and dissolving itself, insisting on negotiations within a broader Palestinian framework and rejecting foreign-imposed leadership, particularly Trump's suggestion of involving international figures like Tony Blair. Hamas's response strategically preserves its political and military relevance while signaling openness to negotiations, yet it firmly opposes foreign supervision, favoring Palestinian autonomy supported by Arab and Islamic nations. This position complicates Trump's plan, especially as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu remains opposed to Palestinian statehood, posing a significant obstacle to a two-state solution. Critics and analysts warn that Hamas's conditional acceptance is a stalling tactic that could prolong the conflict and hinder genuine peace efforts. The ongoing challenge for Trump is to reconcile these divergent positions and secure agreement among all parties to achieve a durable resolution to the Gaza conflict.
