Trump peace plan ‘ignores interests of Palestinian people’, Hamas official says | BBC News

From BBC News.

A senior Hamas figure has told the BBC that the group is likely to reject Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, saying it "serves Israel’s interests" and "ignores those of the Palestinian people".

The figure said that Hamas is unlikely to agree to disarming and handing over their weapons – a key condition of Trump’s plan.

Hamas is also said to object to the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in Gaza, which it views as a new form of occupation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Trump’s plan during White House talks on Monday.

Hamas has not yet given an official response.
