Senior Hamas official Muhammad Mardawi says in an interview with the Qatari channel Al Jazeera that the Gaza peace plan presented by US President Donald Trump at a press conference “leans toward the Israeli perspective.”
“What was said at the press conference [regarding the plan to end the war] leans toward the Israeli perspective; it is close to what Netanyahu insists on in order to continue the war,” he says.
However, he adds, “we need to receive this plan in written and clear form before we respond to it. The plan must be in the hands of Hamas and the Palestinian organizations.”
He stresses that neither Hamas nor any Palestinian has seen the plan yet.
