Leaders of Hamas are reportedly refusing to accept President Trump’s peace agreement.
According to the Daily Wire, mediators from both Qatar and Egypt are stating that Hamas will not accept this deal. As the BBC further noted, leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad sees this plan as a way to end Hamas regardless of their acceptance, and therefore will continue to fight.

The BBC further noted that Hamas’ leadership in Qatar “are open to accepting it with adjustments,” and “have found their influence limited as they do not have control of the hostages held by the group.”
In the BBC report, right now there are 48 hostages within the Palestinian area, however, it is believed that only 20 of them are still alive.
This comes as President Trump laid out his 20-point peace plan for Gaza and Israel. It is the president’s hope that they could create “eternal peace in the Middle East.” With Trump’s plan, a “Board of Peace” would be established, and he would act as the chairman of the board.
