Peace Council official to N12: 'Hamas has no way out of this'

A senior official in the Peace Council told N12 that Hamas has no way out of the plan after publicly agreeing to it. The plan includes no new commitments for Israel, but Israel will withdraw only after Hamas takes significant steps. Heavy weapons will be stored in the Strip under international supervision, and Morocco will train a Palestinian police force.

A senior official in the Peace Council told N12 that Hamas has no way out of the plan, after it publicly agreed to it. The plan, published yesterday, includes no new commitments for Israel, which is already committed to withdrawal and cessation of military operations under Trump's 20-point plan. However, Israel will take these steps only after Hamas takes a series of significant measures, including halting military activity and rearmament. Heavy weapons will be stored in the Strip under the supervision of the technocrats' committee and the international force, and the process is expected to last 200-350 days. Morocco is expected to train a new Palestinian police force in Egypt. The article quotes an official in the Peace Council but does not bring Hamas's position or an official Israeli response.
