Hamas's response is very interesting and obviously very important.

Basic passive voice

It has now agreed to release all of the hostages, living and dead, 48 hostages being held in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for the same number of prisoners that is outlined in President Trump's proposal.

They say that they are ready to enter negotiations to agree to the details on how that hostage release and the rest of President Trump's plan would actually be implemented.

Hamas also says that they are ready to, to give a power in the Gaza Strip and hand over that power to a technocratic Palestinian government, which is also included in President Trump's proposal.

But then the rest of Hamas's statement is where we start to get into some questions about how much Hamas truly agrees with President Trump's 20 point plan.

And that's because there is no explicit mention in this statement of Hamas disarming, which has been a key point of that 20 point plan, a key Israeli demand in order to end the war in Gaza.

Instead, Hamas refers to the, quote, inherent rights of the Palestinian people, which could potentially be interpreted as referring to the weapons of Palestinian militant groups in Gaza.

But instead of agreeing to what is in President Trump's proposal, they say that those rights should be discussed through a, quote, comprehensive national Palestinian framework.
