The proposal practically requires their surrender in exchange for vague promises with no deadlines."
"The group had expressed its reservations Tuesday morning about a project that is completely biased to Israel and imposes impossible conditions aimed at eliminating the group, another of its leaders told Reuters. Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the Islamist movement's media office, also rejected the plan, which he likened to an attempt to impose on Palestinians a new form of guardianship that legitimizes the Israeli occupation."
"Hamas has few if any options other than to comply with a plan that does not include several of its conditions for a ceasefire. In particular, it does not provide any solid guarantees that Israel will stop its attacks or fully withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip."
Hamas is reportedly leaning toward accepting President Trump's ceasefire proposal and will respond on Wednesday. The group asserts it received the draft only Monday night and had no role in drafting it. The proposal is described as effectively demanding surrender in exchange for vague, undated promises. Hamas leaders say the plan is biased toward Israel, risks eliminating the movement, and resembles a guardianship legitimizing occupation. The proposal lacks solid guarantees that Israel will halt attacks or fully withdraw from Gaza. Broad international support and pressure come from Western powers, Russia, China, and major Arab and Muslim states.
