⭕️ Qatar, Egypt & Turkiye pressuring Hamas to accept Trump's 20-point plan, which includes last-minute revisions by Netanyahu

Qatar, Egypt, and Turkiye are urging Hamas to respond positively to President Trump’s new 20-point so-called 'peace' proposal for ending the genocide in Gaza, according to multiple sources familiar with the talks quoted by Axios.

The three countries, acting as key mediators with close ties to Hamas, have met the group’s leaders twice in the last 24 hours. Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad presented the plan to Hamas in Doha on Monday night as Trump unveiled it publicly, with both officials pressing for acceptance.

Al-Thani reportedly told Hamas leaders this was the best deal they could expect, stressing that Trump appeared committed to ending the war and that the US guarantee should be considered sufficient. Hamas leaders replied that they would study the proposal in good faith, while Al-Thani later told Al Jazeera that the plan’s main value is in achieving a ceasefire, though it still requires development and clarification.

The plan, however, carries significant last-minute changes made at the insistence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which have angered Arab officials and could pose a major obstacle for Hamas. It calls for a phased Israeli withdrawal tied directly to Hamas’s full disarmament, with Israel retaining veto power and the possibility of keeping a long-term "security perimeter" inside Gaza.

While the proposal offers includes the release of Palestinian prisoners and a surge in humanitarian aid, its conditions on disarmament and withdrawal remain difficult to accept. Trump has said Hamas has only three to four days to respond and warned that “there isn’t much room” for further negotiations, while US officials insist they are open to clarifications but will not reopen the plan itself.
