Hamas has announced its acceptance of US President Donald Trump’s proposed framework for a prisoner exchange with Israel, signaling readiness to release all Israeli prisoners once the necessary field conditions are met. The group also confirmed its willingness to transfer Gaza’s administration to a Palestinian independent technocratic authority. This body would operate on the basis of Palestinian national consensus and rely on support from Arab and Islamic nations.
“Hamas appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of US President Donald Trump, calling for stopping the war on the Gaza Strip, exchanging prisoners, immediate entry of aid, rejecting the occupation of the Strip, and rejecting the displacement of our Palestinian people from it,” the group said in a statement.
