🔗 Share this article Egyptian Foreign Minister Urges Hamas to Accept Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Disarm Egypt and Qatar are currently engaged in efforts to persuade the Palestinian faction to accept the former US president's demand to stop the conflict in the Gaza Strip, as stated by the Egyptian foreign minister. Growing Diplomatic Pressure on Hamas Badr Abdelatty declared that the time had come for the organization to disarm and not give Israeli forces any excuse to prolong its offensive in the region, where numerous civilians were lost their lives on Friday. “Let’s not give any excuse for one party to use Hamas as a pretext for this mad daily killings of civilians. What’s happening is far beyond the 7th of October,” Abdelatty said. He added that Egypt is “in close contact with Qatar and Turkey to persuade Hamas to agree to the terms”. Details of the US Initiative This proposal would demand Hamas to: Surrender weapons and exit politics Hand over the captives in custody from the October incident, 20 of whom are thought to survive In return, Israel would: Gradually withdraw its forces from the territory Be replaced by an global peacekeeping unit Allow a interim administration led by Trump Observers agree that the proposal would spell an end to the group's role as an militant organization, while the Israeli side would offer limited compromises. Disagreements within the Faction Hamas is at odds over its reaction, with factions asking for a delay to consider the deal. A senior commander has resisted the proposal, seeing it as a move to eradicate Hamas regardless of they accept. Insiders suggest that the faction is likely to propose amendments regarding: Weapons surrender Remaining troops of military in Gaza Assurances that the group’s leadership will not be targeted Civilian Suffering Deteriorates Israel continued its offensive in the northern area and airstrikes across the wider strip on the recent day, claiming the lives of numerous civilians. Several of the casualties were in the northern city, while the rest died in southern Gaza, with three in an aerial attack in a southern area, which had been previously designated a secure area. Israel issued its final warning for the city on earlier this week, with the defence minister declaring that anyone remaining would be considered a terrorist or terrorist supporter, a label that violates humanitarian standards. A vast number of people remain stranded in the city, including those who cannot afford the journey to southern Gaza, which reportedly costs more than $1,000. “Numerous civilians are stranded on roadsides, awaiting shelter,” stated Sarah Davies. United Nations agencies reported that there is no safe place for people fleeing Gaza City, as zones designated as secure areas in the south are dangerous. A UN official called the concept of protected spaces as “absurd”, noting that bombs are dropped with alarming regularity and educational buildings designated as refuges are frequently demolished. Healthcare System under Extreme Pressure Hospitals in the south are operating beyond capacity, with the aid clinic accommodating significantly beyond its intended capacity. Recently, a major medical facility took in the remains of 27 individuals of people killed by the forces. The head of paediatrics referred to the situation as “extremely difficult”. Israel has been reported as targeting hospitals and medical workers, with a nurse reportedly “abducted” while on duty in a southern city. Authorities has often stated that arrested medical officials had connections to the group, though offering no substantiation. Fatalities from hostilities in the strip has reached over 62,000 Gazans fatally injured and nearly 170,000 wounded, per the medical sources.
