Hamas's response upsets Netanyahu's calculations

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Axios reported this morning (Saturday, October 4) that Donald Trump's reception of Hamas's response to the White House's plan for Gaza has "surprised and surprised" Benjamin Netanyahu.

 

Hours earlier, Hamas announced its agreement with parts of Donald Trump's plan, but left the decision on other parts of it to negotiations.

 

In a message on Twitter, Trump described Hamas's response as the movement's readiness for "lasting peace" and called for an immediate halt to Israel's bombing of Gaza.

 

An Israeli official told Axios that Netanyahu, in a meeting with his advisers last night, considered Hamas’s response a complete rejection of the American plan and emphasized that the movement had not responded positively or constructively to the American plan.

 

The Israeli official added that Netanyahu insisted on the need for full coordination with the Americans in response to Hamas’s response so as not to create the impression that Hamas had responded positively to Trump’s plan.

 

Netanyahu had also warned that any lack of coordination could end up harming Israel’s position.

 

The reception of Hamas’s response by various countries and groups also seems to have put the Israeli regime in a position of passivity.

 

Mohammed al-Farah, a member of the Yemeni Ansarullah political bureau, said Hamas responded responsibly to Trump’s plan, which shows the movement’s desire to stop Israeli aggression and starvation in Gaza.

 

The Yemeni official also stressed that Hamas’ response is real and feasible, and indicates the movement’s great flexibility.

 

Al-Farah stated that any escalation in Gaza that aims to continue the genocide and starvation of the Palestinian people is the responsibility of the United States and Israel.

 

Egypt and Qatar have welcomed the Hamas movement's response to Donald Trump's plan in Gaza in separate statements.

 

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that Hamas' response reflects the desire of this movement and all groups to prevent the bloodshed of the Palestinian people and protect the lives of civilians.

 

The Qatari Foreign Ministry also said that it welcomes Hamas' response to the US President's plan for Gaza.

 

The Qatari Foreign Ministry's statement stated that the country has begun coordination with Egypt and the United States to continue negotiations on the Trump plan.
