Hamas will not implement any part of President Trump's Gaza peace plan unless Israel agrees to it, Hamas leader Osama Hamdan told US envoy Jared Kushner, Middle East Eye reported. Hamdan's statement to the American official signals the group's refusal to move forward unilaterally on the proposal.
The position effectively ties Hamas's obligations under the deal to Israeli acceptance of its terms. By conditioning implementation on mutual agreement, Hamas shifts responsibility for the plan's success to both parties rather than accepting independent commitment to the framework. The statement comes as diplomatic efforts continue to shape the contours of any potential Gaza settlement.
