Hope-filled reactions follow Hamas's response, marking a potential turning point in Israel's two-year war on Gaza. Global reactions, including from key mediators, to Hamas's partial acceptance of Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end Israel's war on Gaza, have been tinged with hope as the prospect of halting the two-year genocidal assault appears within reach. Late on Friday, the Palestinian group said that it was ready to release all remaining captives and hand over power to other Palestinians.

The statement issued Monday by the foreign ministers of eight Muslim-majority countries endorsed Trump's 20-point plan that was introduced on September 29. The countries vowed to "engage constructively" with the US and all other parties to "finalize and implement the agreement." Despite the political leadership of much of the Islamic world supporting the plan, the Hamas Islamist militant group, which carried out the October 7 terror attacks on Israel that sparked the current conflict, has not issued a response. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the plan.
