The Islamist militant group Hamas said on Friday that it accepted some elements of the Gaza peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump and that it was prepared to release all Israeli hostages, dead or alive.
The group also said it was prepared to enter into immediate negotiations to clarify the precise details.
After unveiling his 20-point peace plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week, President Trump took to social media earlier on Friday to demand that “an agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday evening” and threatened to eliminate Hamas if the group did not agree to the proposal.
Hamas is still believed to be holding 48 Israelis hostage in the Gaza Strip, around 20 of whom are believed to still be alive. (GSF)
