Hamas to Respond 'Positively' to Trump's Gaza Plan, Seeks Changes

Hamas is expected to respond 'positively' to US President **Donald Trump's** proposal to end the war in **Gaza**, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. However, it will submit a series of amendments.

Arab mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey have held talks with Hamas leaders in Doha regarding the plan. Israeli Prime Minister **Benjamin Netanyahu** has accepted the proposal, while Arab countries have expressed their support.

The amendments requested by Hamas aim to soften terms added by Netanyahu regarding Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of the organization.

**Trump** gave Hamas a deadline of three to four days to respond, while it is unclear whether the US will discuss the proposed amendments.

The Foreign Ministers of Egypt and France have called on Hamas to accept the plan, while **Russian President Vladimir Putin** stated that the plan could be a 'light at the end of the tunnel'.

According to the BBC, the de facto leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Iz al-Din Haddad, opposes the plan, believing it is designed to eliminate Hamas.
