Hamas agrees to release all hostages, enter talks



Hamas issued a statement on Friday confirming that it has submitted its response to United States President Donald Trump's 20-point plan on ending the Gaza war and stressing that it agreed to free all hostages.

The Palestinian military group noted it made the decision "after extensive study" in an effort to "achieve a halt to the war and a complete withdrawal from the Strip." Hamas explained that it has agreed to release all living hostages, as well as the bodies of the deceased ones, and affirmed its "readiness to enter immediately, through mediators, into negotiations to discuss the details of that."

"The Movement also renews its approval to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and based on Arab and Islamic support," Hamas stated, adding that other parts of Trump's plan regarding Gaza's future are "linked to a comprehensive national position."
