Summary

CAIRO, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Hamas said on Friday it would agree to some of the terms in U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war, including releasing hostages, but avoided addressing more vexing issues like disarmament and said it would seek further negotiations.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he believed the statement from Hamas showed it was "ready for a lasting PEACE" and added that "Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly!" "Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that," Trump wrote. "We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East."

Hamas issued its response to Trump's 20-point plan after the president gave the Palestinian militant group until Sunday to accept or face grave consequences.

According to a copy of the response seen by Reuters, Hamas did not say if it would agree to disarm and demilitarize Gaza — something Israel and the U.S. want but Hamas has rejected before. It also did not agree to an Israeli withdrawal in stages, as opposed to the immediate, full withdrawal Hamas demands.

Trump posted a copy of the Hamas letter on his Truth Social page, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted an image on X of the president recording a response to "Hamas’ acceptance of his Peace Plan."

There was no immediate comment from Israel,...

Hokay, the plan is to stop the bombing until all the hostages are released; then if Hamas breaks the deal that everyone else agreed to, bombing resumes.

Well, I trust Hamas about as much as I trust Reuters. I will wait to see what Trump really does.

This is the Trump “Best Friend” phase, if Hamas screws it up, then they will get the “Worst Enemy” phase.

If it was a take it or leave it ultimatum, why do they get to say- “we agree to parts, let’s drag this out for another 4,000 years

Don’t play their game. Accept the agreement or don’t. Choose.

Personally I kill every Hamas and their families.
God may love them, but I see them as evil and a threat to my family and nation.
No quarter!

We stopped the bombing repeatedly in Vietnam and the only result was killing more pilots.

Muslims snicker behind their hands as they contemplate the infidels buying the BS they shovel out.

Just give us a little more time, we’re almost there. Keep watching for us terrorists to comply with the rules, maybe in 2027.

“We stopped the bombing repeatedly in Vietnam and the only result was killing more pilots.”

Read what Trump said, not what they want you to think what he said.

i believe Bibi is Prime Minister, not POTUS. his(DJT) going out on a limb believing Hamas wants peace reminds me of his
ill-received recent attempts with Putin. wishing doesn’t make it so, Mr President. i’m a supporter in general but think giving into Hamas’stalling tactics prolong this war of attrition. 20 points means 20 points - otherwise finish the job, Bibi!

God in Moses’ time killed the first-born of Egypt.

The closest Israel could do would be to kill the military age males.

General Montgomery put the military age males in concentration camps.

What Israel might do is close off Gaza sector by sector. All the males in each sector above 50 inches tall and fit to serve militarily can walk or drive to the West Bank or get shot. Their females and children could accompany them or not.
