Hey fam, quick update from the Middle East: a Hamas official told AFP they need more time to study President Trump's 20-point roadmap to end the Gaza conflict. 🤝
Trump set an ultimatum of 'three or four days' to accept the plan, which includes a ceasefire, freeing hostages in 72 hours, disarmament of Hamas, and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. After that, Trump himself would head a post-war transitional authority. 🌍
While major players like Saudi Arabia and Qatar have welcomed the proposal, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said the public version isn't the same as the Muslim-majority draft. 'These points are not ours,' he told Pakistan's parliament.
Inside Hamas, sources say two camps are forming: one ready to agree for the sake of a ceasefire under Trump's guarantees, and another pushing back on clauses about disarmament and expulsion of faction members. They want tweaks and international guarantees for a full Israeli withdrawal—and security against any assassination attempts. 🛡️
Hamas political bureau member Mohammad Nazzal emphasised they’re in 'serious talks' with mediators and Arab-Islamic parties to find common ground. No final word yet—so stay tuned! 🔍
