The White House: Sensitive discussions regarding Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza

The White House confirmed yesterday, Wednesday, that sensitive discussions are currently underway regarding the U.S. proposal to end the war in the Gaza Strip, expressing hope that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) will accept the deadline set by President Donald Trump.

White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt said at a press conference, "I can assure you that there are very sensitive discussions taking place, but I do not want to rush to issue any statement from here. I will leave it to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the U.S. President to handle it."

She added that the estimated deadline of 3 to 4 days given by Trump to Hamas is still in effect, confirming that they are awaiting the movement's response, and expressing hope that the response will come within the timeframe set by the U.S. President last Tuesday.

In response to a question from a journalist, Levitt stated that the ceasefire plan in Gaza led by Trump has received global acceptance and will bring peace to the region.

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani discussed the latest developments of the ceasefire plan in the Gaza Strip with the U.S. President on Wednesday evening, expressing confidence in the ability of the countries supporting the plan to reach a fair settlement that preserves the rights of the Palestinian people.

This came during a phone call received by the Emir of Qatar from Trump, according to a statement from the Amiri Diwan.

For its part, Hamas announced that it is considering Trump's proposal after receiving it from the mediators responsibly, but it has not yet responded to the plan.

Trump's plan includes 20 points, the most notable of which are the release of Israeli prisoners in Gaza within 72 hours, a ceasefire, and the disarmament of Hamas.

The plan also calls, according to what has been leaked, for the formation of an international supervisory body headed by him, responsible for training a governing administration in Gaza, without Hamas's participation.

The announcement of the plan comes while the Israeli army continues its deployment in several key axes in the city of Gaza, continuing to bombard and blow up buildings and residential facilities in those areas, as part of its efforts to occupy the city and displace Palestinians from it.
