🔗 Share this article Egypt's Foreign Minister Calls On Hamas to Agree to Trump's Gaza Strip Peace Plan and Lay Down Arms Cairo and Qatar are currently engaged in attempts to convince the Palestinian faction to accept Donald Trump's proposal to stop the hostilities in the Gaza Strip, as stated by Egypt's foreign minister. Mounting Diplomatic Pressure on Hamas Egypt's foreign minister stated that the time had come for Hamas to disarm and not give Israeli forces any justification to continue its operations in the region, where 28 Palestinians were lost their lives on recently. “We must avoid providing any justification for ongoing civilian casualties, which have escalated far beyond the events of October 7th,” the minister said. He noted that Egypt is “in close contact with Qatar and Turkey to persuade Hamas to agree to the terms”. Details of the Peace Plan This proposal would require the group to: Surrender weapons and withdraw from political activities Return the hostages still held from the 2023 attack, 20 of whom are thought to survive As part of the deal, Israeli authorities would: Gradually withdraw its forces from the territory Be replaced by an global peacekeeping unit Accept a transitional authority under the former president Experts agree that the plan would effectively terminate its existence as an militant organization, while Israel would make few concessions. Internal Divisions within the Faction Hamas is divided over the appropriate answer, with some members asking for a delay to review the terms. Izz al-Din al-Haddad has resisted the plan, seeing it as a strategy to destroy Hamas whether or not they agree. Insiders indicate that the faction is inclined to seek modifications regarding: Weapons surrender Continued presence of Israeli forces in the area Assurances that the Hamas leaders will not be targeted Gaza Situation Deteriorates Israeli forces carried on its operations in the northern area and bombardment across the region on Friday, claiming the lives of 28 people. Nearly a dozen of the those killed were in the northern city, while the rest were killed in the south, with three in an Israeli drone strike in a southern area, which had been previously designated a protected space. Israel issued its last evacuation order for Gaza City on Wednesday, with the top defense official announcing that those who stay would be labeled as militants, a designation that contradicts global norms. Hundreds of thousands of people remain unable to leave in the city, with numerous who cannot afford the evacuation to the south, which reportedly costs a significant sum. “Numerous civilians are stranded on roadsides, awaiting shelter,” stated Sarah Davies. The UN said that there is nowhere secure for those escaping the city, as zones designated as secure areas in the south are lethal. James Elder described the notion of a safe zone as “absurd”, noting that bombs are dropped with frightening frequency and shelters used as temporary shelters are frequently demolished. Healthcare System under Overwhelming Demand Hospitals in southern Gaza are stretched to the limit, with the medical unit treating significantly beyond its intended capacity. On Thursday, one of the last functioning hospitals admitted numerous fatalities of people fatally wounded by the Israeli military. A senior doctor described the circumstances as “extremely difficult”. Israeli forces has been reported as striking healthcare facilities and staff, with a nurse allegedly “abducted” while on duty in the area. Authorities has often stated that detained healthcare workers had ties to Hamas, though offering no substantiation. Fatalities from Israel’s war in Gaza has climbed to more than sixty-two thousand Gazans killed and about 170,000 injured, according to the medical sources.
