Egypt Expresses Appreciation for Hamas Statement in Response to U.S. President Trump’s Plan

alhadath – cairo

The Arab Republic of Egypt expresses its appreciation for the statement issued by the Hamas movement in response to U.S. President Trump’s plan regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The statement reflects a commitment by Hamas and all Palestinian factions to spare the blood of the Palestinian people, protect the lives of innocent civilians, and a sincere desire to end a dark chapter in the region’s history. It also demonstrates an awareness of the necessity of ending this war and lays the foundation for moving forward toward achieving the Palestinian people’s aspirations for the realization of their state.

Egypt reiterates its appreciation for the efforts of President Trump and his vision for achieving peace and stability in the region, especially his full commitment to ending the war in Gaza, his total rejection of the annexation of the West Bank or the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land, and his launch of a plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip while ensuring Palestinians remain in their territories and allowing those who wish to return to do so. This reflects wise leadership and a clear, insightful vision from President Trump to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East and his commitment to fostering peaceful coexistence between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples in this vital region of the world.

Egypt expresses hope that this positive development will lead all parties to rise to the level of responsibility by committing to the implementation of President Trump’s plan on the ground and ending the war, allowing humanitarian aid to pass through UN mechanisms without restrictions, and releasing hostages and detainees. This would pave the way for a new phase toward peace, beginning with negotiations on the details and mechanisms necessary to implement President Trump’s vision on the ground, within a political framework that leads to the two-state solution, which the international community has agreed upon as a reference — thereby achieving peace and prosperity in the region.

Egypt also affirms its intention to exert maximum effort, in coordination with all Arab and Islamic countries, the United States, European partners, and the international community, to reach a permanent ceasefire, alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, and rebuild the Gaza Strip.
