[Global Network Reporter Suo Yanqi] According to AFP and other media reports, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) expressed "in principle" to US President Trump's "20-point plan" to end the Gaza conflict on the 3rd local time."Agreed", and the United Nations, Britain, Germany, France, Egypt, Qatar and Israel responded to Hamas's statement.

According to reports, UN Secretary-General Guterres said in a statement through a spokesman later on the 3rd that "Hamas issued a statement announcing its readiness to release hostages and participate in negotiations. The Secretary-General welcomed and was encouraged by this.". The statement said that Guterres urged all parties to seize the opportunity to end the tragic conflict in Gaza.

British Prime Minister Stammer said on the same day that Hamas "accepted" the U.S. "20-point plan" as a "important step forward" in the process of ending the war in Gaza.

French President Macron said on social platform X on the 3rd local time that after Hamas "agreed in principle" to Trump's "20-point plan", a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of detainees are "just around the corner." German Chancellor Merz made a similar statement on X on the 4th local time, saying that Germany "fully supports" Trump's "appeal to both sides."

AFP mentioned that Egypt and Qatar, as mediators, both welcomed Hamas's response to Trump's "20-point plan." The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on the social networking platform Facebook that "Egypt hopes this positive development will prompt all parties to shoulder their responsibilities" and is committed to implementing the plan to end the war. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Qatar and Egypt have begun coordinating work with the United States to "continue discussions on the plan to ensure a path to end the war is found."

According to the Times of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believed after deliberation that Hamas actually "rejected" Trump's "20-point plan". In addition, Trump said in response to Hamas's statement that he believed Hamas was "ready to achieve lasting peace" and called on Israel to immediately stop its attacks on the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu was "surprised" by this.

The Israeli Times that the Israeli Prime Minister¡¯s Office issued a statement in the morning of 4 local time that after Hamas responded, Israel was ready to immediately launch the first phase of Trump¡¯s ¡°20-point plan¡±, namely to release all detainees.

On the evening of October 3, Hamas issued a statement announcing that it had submitted a response to the mediator to Trump's "20-point plan" on ending the conflict in Gaza, and expressed its willingness to negotiate through the mediator to implement the relevant plan. Later on the same day, Trump wrote on his social media that he believed that, based on Hamas' recent statement, the other party was ready to lasting peace. Trump called on Israel to immediately stop bombing Gaza in order to safely and quickly rescue the detainees, and said the current situation was too dangerous, and that details had been discussed.

According to the White House documents, the ¡°20 Points Plan¡± requires Hamas to release all detainees within 72 hours of Israel¡¯s public acceptance of the plan; Israel to allow international humanitarian aid to enter Gaza after all detainees have been released; Gaza to be temporarily managed under international supervision by a committee of technical experts; Gaza to initiate a de-militarization process, Hamas to withdraw arms and not to participate in Gaza¡¯s governance; Israel to set up a buffer zone, phased withdrawal of troops, etc. But the plan does not set a clear and binding timetable for a full Israeli withdrawal, a number of conditions previously rejected by Hamas.
