WASHINGTON - Hamas responded on Friday to President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza's future, including ending Israel's war in the enclave.

The Palestinian militant group accepted certain key parts of the Trump plan, including ending the war, Israel's withdrawal, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian captives, aid and recovery efforts, and an opposition to Palestinian expulsion from the territory.

There were apparent differences in Hamas' statement and Trump's plan on the future of Gaza's governance and Hamas' own involvement in the territory's future. Hamas said it sought further talks.

A comparison of Hamas' statement with Trump's plan is below:

WHAT DOES HAMAS SAY IT IS OPEN TO ACCEPTING IN TRUMP'S PLAN?

Release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian captives:

Hamas said it would release Israeli hostages in Gaza both living and dead "according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump's proposal, with the necessary field conditions for implementing the exchange."

It did not specify what it meant by "necessary field conditions." The militant group said it was ready to immediately have talks through mediators to discuss further details.

The Trump plan says all hostages will be returned by Hamas "within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement."

Trump's proposal said that thereafter, Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, plus 1,700 Gazans arrested since October 7, 2023, including all women and children. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 dead Gazans, the Trump plan says.

Ceasefire, end of war and Israeli withdrawal:

Hamas said it accepted the framework of an end to the war and Israel's "full withdrawal" from the enclave. Hamas' statement did not note any different stages of Israel's withdrawal and said it rejected Israeli occupation.
