Hamas Responds to Trump Ultimatum

Hamas, after President Donald Trump’s ultimatum of yesterday, a posted a statement affirming its readiness to negotiate provided there are guarantees that the Israeli side will adhere to any agreement that results. Hamas “welcomes any move that assists in efforts to stop the aggression against our people, and affirms that it is immediately ready to sit at the negotiating table to discuss the release of all prisoners in exchange for a clear declaration of ending the war, complete withdrawal from the Strip, and the formation of a committee to manage the Gaza Strip composed of independent Palestinians, which will immediately assume its work, with a guarantee of the ‘israeli’ enemy’s public and explicit commitment to what will be agreed upon, so that previous experiences of reaching agreements and then rejecting or overturning them are not repeated,” it said. “The last of these was the agreement presented by the mediators to the movement based on an American proposal, which the movement approved in Cairo on 18/8/2025, and the ‘israeli’ occupation has not responded to it until now, but rather continued its massacres and ethnic cleansing.”
