Israel has expanded its offensive in recent days against the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza, while growing international pressure for the organization to respond to the peace plan presented this week by US President Donald Trump.
The US government gave the Palestinian terrorist group three to four days to accept the terms, which have already been agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We have a signature that we need [a do Hamas]and who does not sign will pay dearly in hell, so. I hope they will sign for their own good and create something really great, ”Trump told a speech to military in Virginia, according to the portal Axios.
While Hamas analyzes the proposal, other Palestinian groups operating in Gaza rejected the initiative, classifying it as “favorable to Israel.” A Palestinian leader told the agency Reuters That “accepting the plan is a disaster, rejecting it is another. There is only bitter choices here, but the plan is a Netanyahu plan articulated by Trump.” Nevertheless, the same source has recognized that Hamas “is willing to end war and genocide” and will give an answer aligned with the “interests of the Palestinian people.”
In the battlefield, the Israeli offensive intensified in the city of Gaza, where planes and tanks hit several places to combat Palestinian terrorists during the early hours of Wednesday (1st). Defense Minister Israel Katz said the goal at this time is “tightening the siege around Gaza on the way to defeat Hamas.” He reiterated the request for civilian residents to leave the place and isolate Hamas terrorists who are target of the offensive on land and air.
In the diplomatic field, regional mediators press Hamas to accept Trump’s plan. According to the Axiosauthorities of Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye gathered twice within 24 hours with leaders of the terrorist group in Doha. Qatar’s premie, Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, would have told leaders that this is “the best possible proposal” and that there will be no better offer. He also said that in conversations with Trump, he realized “serious commitment to end the war,” which would be sufficient guarantee for the terrorist group. Already to Al JazeraThe Prime Minister said he hopes that “everyone will look at the plan constructively and enjoy the chance to end the war.”
Gaza’s Paza Plan presented by Trump provides for the liberation of hostages still in the possession of Hamas, the delivery of weapons and the exclusion of the Palestinian terrorist group from the future Gaza government. On the other hand, Israel would free 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and increase the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave. It is also foreseen the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops, although without a defined deadline. Trump reiterated that there is not “much space” for renegotiations, while US authorities have signaled that they can discuss Hamas’s punctual adjustments, but without reopening the entire agreement.
