Qatar: Issues with Trump's plan regarding Gaza need clarification and negotiation.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman announced on Tuesday that there are issues "that need clarification and negotiation" in U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding the cessation of the war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip.

Bin Abdulrahman told Al Jazeera: "We handed over Trump's plan to the Hamas negotiating delegation on Monday, and the discussions with them were general."

He added: "We hope everyone looks at the plan constructively and seizes the opportunity to end the war."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 66,097 deaths and 168,536 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has claimed the lives of 453 Palestinians, including 150 children.

Bin Abdulrahman continued: "So far, we do not know Hamas's response to the plan, which requires consensus with the Palestinian factions."

He considered that the plan "achieves a main goal of ending the war, and there are issues within it that need clarification and negotiation."

He added: "Ending the war is a clear item in the plan, and the issue of withdrawal (of Israeli forces from Gaza) needs clarifications, and this should be discussed."

Bin Abdulrahman said, "We and Egypt clarified to Hamas during our meeting yesterday our main goal of stopping the war."

He confirmed that "Hamas has acted responsibly and promised to study the plan," and noted that "Qatar's main focus now is how to end the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza."

The Qatari Prime Minister continued: "Our focus now is to end the war, famine, killing, and displacement in Gaza."

Regarding the details of the plan announced by Trump, Bin Abdulrahman said, "What was presented yesterday are principles in the plan that need discussion of their details and how to work through them."

He added that "Arab and Islamic countries have put in their efforts to keep the Palestinians on their land and reach a two-state solution."

He emphasized that "the current phase is important, and it is part of negotiations that are not expected to emerge in idealistic language," stressing that "we must build on the current path and make it effective and successful."

Regarding the future of Gaza, Bin Abdulrahman stated that "the Palestinian administration of Gaza is mentioned in the plan and will be discussed with Washington, and this does not concern Israel."

He stressed that "the plan is still in its early stages and needs development, and we are trying to create a path that preserves the rights of the Palestinians."

He added that "if the plan is accepted, Arab and Islamic countries welcome participation in what supports the Palestinians."

He reported that "Egypt and Turkey are participating in today's meetings with the Palestinians (in Doha) to reach the best solutions."

On Monday, Trump presented, in a press conference in Washington with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the main points of his plan.

He said it "includes the release of Israeli prisoners (in Gaza) within 72 hours, a ceasefire, and the disarmament of Hamas."

He added that the plan calls for the establishment of an international supervisory body headed by him, responsible for training a governance administration in Gaza, without the participation of "Hamas."

Netanyahu, for his part, said he "supports Trump's plan," considering that it "achieves the Israeli objectives of the war," as he put it.
