Khaberni - A political bureau member of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Mohammad Nazal, stated that the movement will announce "very soon" its stance on the American plan publicly, emphasizing its seriousness in reaching understandings from a standpoint of stopping the war and genocide in Gaza Strip.
Nazal clarified - during an interview with Al Jazeera - that Hamas's response "will not be delayed" and will take into consideration the interests of the Palestinian people and the fundamental, strategic, and political considerations, asserting that it will not allow the continuation of genocide.
He emphasized that the movement does not operate from nihilistic assumptions, but it "does not accept the logic of threats, dictates, and pressures that act like a sword of time hanging over."
Hamas renewed its commitment to reaching understandings starting from "time of blood", and out of its keenness to stop the massacres and the mass slaughter before entering its third year.
According to Nazal, last Monday evening Hamas received the plan "attributed to President Donald Trump," and said it had many comments but the movement is looking for gray areas to stop the genocide in Gaza.
He confirmed that it is impossible that the end would be to compromise the rights of the Palestinian people after all these sacrifices, indicating that Hamas has the right to make observations that serve the interests of the Palestinians and that it accepts the logic of dialogue and discussion.
Nazal revealed that Hamas began internal and external consultations on the second day of receiving the plan, and that it continues in this context with mediators and Arab and Islamic parties.
Earlier on Thursday, the White House said President Trump is waiting for Hamas's response to his plan to stop the war in Gaza, while an official in the White House told Fox News that the Gaza ceasefire plan is acceptable "and we expect that Hamas will accept it to move forward towards a more peaceful Middle East."
The White House issued a detailed plan on September 29, 2025, calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, followed by a comprehensive program for reconstruction and reorganization of the political and security situation in the sector.
The plan aims to turn Gaza into a "weapon-free zone", providing an interim governance mechanism with international and regional guarantees, under the direct supervision of the American president on a new international body tasked with overseeing its implementation.
The plan includes the release of all Israeli prisoners held by Hamas within 72 hours of its approval, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from occupation jails.
It also stipulates cessation of fighting and disarming the Palestinian resistance and a gradual withdrawal of Israel from the sector, to be governed by a technocratic authority under the supervision of an international body led by the American president.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has continued a genocidal war in Gaza, which has so far resulted in the martyrdom of more than 66,000 Palestinians, and the injury of about 169,000, most of them children and women, alongside a famine that has claimed the lives of 455 people, including 151 children.
