Khaberni - A source close to Hamas mentioned that the movement seeks to modify some provisions of the American President's peace plan in the Gaza Strip, including the disarmament clause and the departure of its fighters from the sector.
A Palestinian official close to Hamas stated that the movement "wants to modify some provisions of Trump's plan such as disarmament and the distancing of Hamas's personnel and other factions."
He pointed out that "consultations are intensive around the clock within the leadership of the movement in Palestine and abroad, (...) and with the mediators," specifying that four meetings were held on Monday in Doha with Qatari and Egyptian mediators "in the presence of Turkish officials."
He mentioned that Hamas "informed the mediators of the necessity to provide international guarantees for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and for Israel not to breach the ceasefire."
Qatar announced that talks will take place Tuesday evening in Doha with Hamas, Turkey, and Egypt, to discuss the American president's plan.
Donald Trump's plan, which was unveiled on Monday and approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calls for an immediate halt to the war in the Gaza Strip as soon as the parties to the war agree to the plan, followed by the release of all detainees in the Gaza Strip and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
The plan consists of twenty clauses including also the disarmament of Hamas movement and the exit of its elements from the sector to other countries, and the management of Gaza by a Palestinian committee of technocrats and international experts, under the supervision of a council chaired by Trump himself and members including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Israel will gradually withdraw from the sector, according to the plan, but retains a "security belt".
A second informed source close to the negotiations in Doha reported the existence of "two opinions within Hamas: the first supports an unconditional agreement to the plan, and a ceasefire, with the mediators ensuring Israel's implementation of the plan" and the second party "has significant reservations about important provisions, including rejecting the disarmament process and the expatriation of any citizen abroad".
He continued that this route "supports conditional approval with clarifications (...) so as not to grant legitimacy to the occupation of the Gaza Strip and to criminalize the resistance."
The source close to Hamas confirmed that "there is no final decision yet in Hamas," adding that the movement "needs two or three more days at most, and will issue an official statement" about its position and "inform the mediators of it."
On Tuesday, Trump threatened Hamas with a grim fate and gave it three or four days to respond to his peace plan.
