Hamas responded to Donald Trump’s Gaza Plan.

Oct 2025 : On 03rd September, 2025 – Hamas have finally responded while accrediting the peace plan initiated by United States President Donald Trump on 29th September, 2025. The plan envisions an immediate seize on Israel’s inhuman Palestine attack alongwith Gaza’s future.

Hamas have accepted certain key take aways of the Trump plan, including ending the war, Israel’s withdrawal, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian captives, aid and recovery efforts, and an opposition to Palestinian expulsion from the territory. There were apparent differences in Hamas’ statement and Trump’s plan on the future of Gaza’s governance and Hamas’ own involvement in the territory’s future. Hamas said it sought further talks.

Maverick News has conducted a detailed insight about the proposed peace plan wherein certain differences in narratives were observed. However, it is evident that Hamas who are engaged in the freedom of Palestine have contradicted in cognizance to Trump’s Plan, simultaneously proposing certain objectives.

• The Trump’s plan says all hostages will be returned by Hamas within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement; while Hamas proposed to release Israeli hostages in Gaza both living and dead “according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump’s proposal, with the necessary field conditions for implementing the exchange“. It did not specify what it meant by “necessary field conditions”. They have expressed their willingness to engage in talks through mediators to discuss further details.

• Trump’s proposal reiterates that Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, plus 1,700 Gazans arrested since October 7, 2023, including all women and children. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 dead Gazans.

• The Trump plan said “Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release“. It said that during that time, Israel’s military assault, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and “battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal”. Hamas said it accepted the framework of an end to the war and Israel’s “full withdrawal” from the enclave. Hamas’ statement did not note any different stages of Israel’s withdrawal and said it rejected Israeli occupation.

• The Trump plan said aid will be immediately sent into Gaza in quantities consistent with a January 19 agreement. It would also involve rehabilitation of infrastructure, hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. Aid will proceed through the United Nations, the Red Crescent and other international institutions under the plan. The Trump plan said that “no one will be forced to leave” and those who wish to leave will be free to return. The Trump plan encouraged Palestinians to stay in Gaza; Hamas said it rejected Palestinian displacement from Gaza.

• The Trump plan said “Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee“, though it does not identify any Palestinian individual or group by name as being involved in the transition. Furthermore, the panel would be supervised by a new international transitional body that Trump would head and which would include other members, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair; But Hamas said it would agree to hand over Gaza’s administration “to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing“. Hamas has previously offered to hand over Gaza’s administration to a different body. Hamas did not comment on the proposed deployment of a “temporary International Stabilisation Force” in Gaza under the Trump plan for which the U.S. will work with Arab partners.

• The Trump plan said Hamas will “agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form“. The plan also said there will be a “process of demilitarisation of Gaza”. Furthermore, Trump Plan to give amnesty and safe passage to other countries for Hamas’s members who “decommission” their weapons; Hamas maintained in its response that they see itself as part of a “comprehensive Palestinian national framework”. Its Friday statement did not comment on demilitarising. It has previously rejected such calls.

“This is tied to a collective national position and in accordance with relevant international laws and resolutions, to be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, in which Hamas will be included and will contribute with full responsibility“, Hamas said on Friday. The Hamas statement did not comment on the proposal in the Trump plan.
