Al Hadath: Palestinian factions raise concerns about differences in Trump’s Gaza plan

Palestinian groups involved in discussions over the U.S. plan to resolve the situation in the Gaza Strip, proposed by President Donald Trump, have expressed concerns regarding the implementation of certain provisions.

Sources who spoke to Al Hadath note that Hamas “continues to discuss the American plan with Palestinian factions and mediators.” 

They indicate that the factions “are worried about the execution of some points of Trump’s plan.”

Factions reportedly insist on a clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Palestinian representatives also voiced fears of a “repetition of the Lebanese experience” in the enclave and sought “explicit guarantees for the cessation of hostilities in Gaza.”

Additionally, the sources said the plan presented for their consideration “differs from proposals submitted to Arab leaders,” raising further concerns among the factions.

Trump unveiled his 20-point proposal on September 29, outlining measures aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The plan called for the return of all hostages, both living and deceased, within 72 hours of a ceasefire. Many details were left to future negotiations and hinged on agreement from Hamas, which initiated hostilities against Israel on October 7, 2023.

The proposal also envisioned a redevelopment project referred to as “New Gaza,” designed to promote stability and economic recovery in the territory once the conflict ends.
