Hamas leader in Gaza indicated to mediators he rejects Trump’s plan — BBC
Hamas Gaza chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad, then the commander of the terror group's Gaza City Brigade, is seen in a video released by Hamas’s military wing in May 2022 (social media)
Hamas’s de facto leader in the Gaza Strip has indicated to mediators that he rejects US President Donald Trump’s new proposal for ending the ongoing war between the Palestinian terror group and Israel, the BBC reports.
The unsourced report says Izz al-Din Haddad, who formerly commanded the Gaza City Brigade, is believed to think the plan was designed to end Hamas, whether or not it backs the proposal, and therefore the terrorist organization is ready to keep fighting Israel.
