Hamas Agrees to Hostage Release Under Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Hamas has agreed in principle to release all Israeli hostages (both living and deceased) as part of a new peace framework put forward by US President Donald Trump, marking a potentially significant breakthrough in the conflict.
The militant group confirmed on Friday that it accepts core elements of Trump’s plan and is ready to “immediately engage in negotiations through mediators” to finalize the details.
Key Agreements and Demands
- Hostage Release: Hamas committed to a complete exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
- Post-War Governance: The group signaled it would surrender administrative control of Gaza to a Palestinian body of “independent technocrats.”
- Further Negotiation: Hamas noted that other aspects of the 20-point proposal still require discussion.
Trump’s Response
Following Hamas’s statement, President Trump immediately called on Israel to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza” to ensure the safe extraction of the hostages.
The development comes after Trump issued an ultimatum to Hamas, warning that “all hell will break out” if they failed to accept his plan—which he described as a final chance for peace.

Trump’s 20-point plan, intended to end the two-year-long war, includes:
- An immediate ceasefire.
