JAKARTA - Hamas senior official Mousa Abu Marzouk said his party agreed in principle to a ceasefire plan in the Gaza Strip proposed by United States President Donald Trump.

Reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Saturday, October 4, Marzouk emphasized that Hamas supports the outline of the plan, but its implementation still needs to be discussed further.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Abu Marzouk stated that Hamas is ready to hand over weapons to Palestinians in the future, and emphasizes that the future of the Palestinian people is a national matter, not a Hamas unilateral decision.

On September 29, the White House released a detailed plan that included an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, a massive reconstruction, and a political and security reorganization in the region.

The plan aims to make Gaza a arms-free zone under transitional rule, overseen directly by international agencies formed on Trump's initiative.

The contents of the plan also include the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours of approval, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

Documents establish the cessation of hostilities, the ceasefire of resistance groups, and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. The interim government will be carried out by technocrats under international supervision.

However, this plan is considered lame because the obligation to Hamas is clear and strict, while Israel is not formally bound.

There is no specific deadline regarding the withdrawal of Israeli troops or the delivery of humanitarian aid in the plan.
