Bloomberg Agency observed that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) accepted part of the proposed plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to settle the ongoing war in Gaza for two years, but refrained from making a decision on other aspects of the proposed settlement.
The American agency - in a report by Lisa Baier - stated that the movement announced it would release the Israeli detainees, but left other aspects of the proposed settlement, consisting of 20 points, which were accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The plan immediately calls for ending Israeli military operations, sending "full aid immediately" to Gaza, which is suffering from famine due to the blockade, and releasing about 1,700 residents of Gaza held by Israel.
In addition, the plan also promises to rebuild and develop Gaza for the benefit of its people, with guarantees that Israel will not occupy or annex the territory, and that Israeli forces will gradually withdraw.
There is also a promise not to force any of Gaza's residents to leave the territory, after Trump raised concerns earlier this year by suggesting that the U.S. government take over Gaza after displacing its residents and turning it into a tourist resort.
The plan is relied upon to end the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip for two years.
Bloomberg reported that Trump's plan, in its most ambitious form, envisions Hamas doing what it said it would not do, which is surrender, meaning agreeing to disarm and relinquish all authority in the Gaza Strip, which it has ruled since 2007.
This step - according to the plan - would lead to the end of Israeli operations in Gaza, gradually replacing them with international peacekeeping forces, a significant influx of aid, and the reconstruction of the devastated territory.
The complete plan calls for the return of the remaining detainees, believed to number 48, including 20 who are alive, and calls for the disarmament of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors to ensure it cannot pose a threat to Israel in the future.
According to the plan, Hamas will agree not to interfere in the administration of Gaza in any way, and its members will be granted "general amnesty" if they commit to peaceful coexistence and surrender their weapons, with a safe passage provided to another country for those who wish to leave the territory.
The plan calls for the United States to work with Arab countries and other partners to establish what is called international stability forces, scheduled to be deployed immediately in Gaza, with the idea that the Israeli army will gradually hand over the territories it controls in Gaza to these stability forces, according to a timeline that has not yet been specified.
The plan calls for Israeli forces to maintain a presence along the perimeter of Gaza until the area is "completely safe from any renewed terrorist threat," according to its claims, while the international stability forces are tasked with training and supporting a new local police force in Gaza, which is supposed to handle the internal security of the territory in the long term.
The plan calls for the establishment of a temporary committee to manage public services and municipalities in Gaza, composed of Palestinian and international technocrats, overseen by an international council, which includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and is chaired by Trump.
The plan acknowledges that statehood is the aspiration of the Palestinian people and indicates the possibility of creating conditions, over time, for a "reliable path" to achieve it.
The plan promises to end Israeli military operations and rebuild Gaza for the benefit of its people.
