Hamas has announced its agreement to release Israeli hostages but with a condition of seeking changes to the US Gaza peace plan. The move comes after months of negotiations between the two parties. The hostages, who were captured by Hamas militants last year, are reported to be in good health and will be handed over to Israeli authorities in the coming days.
Hamas spokesperson stated that the group is willing to release the hostages as a gesture of goodwill and to show its commitment to the peace process. However, they emphasized the importance of addressing their concerns regarding the US Gaza peace plan. The details of the changes Hamas is seeking have not been disclosed yet.
On the other hand, Israeli officials have welcomed the news of the imminent release of the hostages. They have expressed willingness to engage in discussions with Hamas regarding their proposed changes to the peace plan. Israeli Prime Minister has stated that the priority is the safe return of the hostages and ensuring the stability and security of the region.
The US government, which has been actively involved in mediating between the two parties, has yet to comment on Hamas’ request for changes to the peace plan. The US has been advocating for a two-state solution and has proposed a detailed peace plan aimed at resolving the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The development has raised hopes for progress in the peace process but also underscores the challenges and complexities involved in achieving a lasting resolution in the region.
