Hamas OKs Peace Plan
There has been a significant breakthrough to put an end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Hamas endorsed the 20-point peace plan presented by US President Donald Trump. The plan addresses restoring peace in Gaza.
India Welcomes Development
India supported the step. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi appreciated Trump's initiatives in peacemaking. Modi termed the signing of the agreement for the release of the hostages as a notable step towards peace. He continued that India always advocates fair and sustainable efforts toward peace.
Trump's Role in Negotiations
Israel had first agreed to Trump's proposal of ending the war. Hamas initially declined it, and that cast doubts. Then Trump warned Hamas that they would be punished if they did not respond within six hours. Under pressure, Hamas had agreed to release the hostages. But it said negotiations were still needed to pin down the proposal.
Next Steps in Peace Efforts
Trump cautioned Israel against launching new attacks in Gaza after Hamas's action. There are likely to be ongoing negotiations regarding the plan details.
