Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 4 (Xinhua) After the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) responded to the "20-point plan" proposed by the United States to end the Gaza conflict, Israel stated on the morning of the 4th that it was ready to "immediately implement" the ceasefire. The first phase plan of the plan.

Israel: Ready to Implement Phase 1 Plan

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued a statement in the early morning of the 4th, saying that in response to Hamas's response, Israel is prepared to "immediately implement" the first phase of the ceasefire plan proposed by US President Trump so that the detained Israeli people can be immediately released. The statement said it would continue to "fully cooperate" with Trump and his team to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip in accordance with Israel's established principles consistent with Trump's vision. The Israeli army also issued a statement saying that in response to instructions from a "political level", it had ordered "preparations to implement" the first phase of Trump's ceasefire plan.

According to the BBC, since Trump's proposed ceasefire plan contains 20 contents, it is not clear what the so-called "first phase plan" actually means. Trump announced on September 29 after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in the White House that Israel accepted the "20-point plan" proposed by the United States to end the conflict in Gaza.

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 hostages 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 deposit arms and not to participate in the governance of Gaza; Israel to set up a buffer zone, phased withdrawal, etc. But the plan does not set a clear and binding timetable for a comprehensive Israeli withdrawal, a number of conditions previously rejected by Hamas.

¡°Is the war over?¡±

Regarding Trump's previous remarks calling for Israel to "immediately stop bombing of Gaza," neither the Israeli Prime Minister's Office nor the Defense Force's statements mentioned it. The Israeli government and military also did not give a timetable for the release of detainees.

Hamas issued a statement on the evening of the 3rd, saying that it agreed in principle to release all Israeli detainees and bodies under the exchange framework of the "20-point plan" and expressed its willingness to immediately negotiate through the mediator to discuss implementation details. In response, Trump posted on social media saying that he believed Hamas was ready to achieve a "lasting peace" and called on Israel to immediately stop its bombing of Gaza so that the detainees could be safely and quickly released.

Reuters quoted Gaza residents as reporting that just after Trump called on Israel to stop bombing, Israeli tanks fired on a major dryway in the area. Since the U.S. proposed ¡°20-point plan¡± content has been exposed, people living in Gaza have been eager to figure out the developments. BBC reporters have received hundreds of questions from Gaza: ¡°Is the war over?¡±

Jacob Granger, MSF's emergency coordinator on the ground, told the BBC that the current living conditions of Gaza City residents remain "poor" due to lack of access to food, water and medical services. Due to the deterioration of the security situation and the intensification of Israeli air strikes, the organization was forced to stop its basic medical activities in the local area at the end of September.

Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman Ansari said on the 4th that Qatar welcomes Hamas's response to the "20-point plan." He said Qatar had begun working with mediators such as Egypt and coordinated with the United States to continue discussions on a plan to achieve peace in Gaza to ensure that the way was paved for an end to the war.

Leaders from many countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Turkey, also welcomed Hamas¡¯ response to the ¡°20 Points Plan.¡± UN Secretary-General Guterres called on ¡°all parties to seize this opportunity to end the tragic conflict in Gaza.¡± (reporter: Yuan, Wang, Lu Yuan, Wang Chuan)
