Russia wishes success to Trump’s Gaza plan: Kremlin

Moscow has addressed the Trump-proposed peace plan for Gaza, saying it hopes it is implemented successfully. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comments, quoted by the AFP news agency, at a news briefing this morning.

“Russia always supports and welcomes any efforts by President Trump aimed at ending this ongoing tragedy,” said Peskov. “Of course, we want this plan to be implemented and for it to help bring events in the Middle East to a peaceful conclusion.”

Trump says he is giving Hamas up to 4 days to respond to Gaza peace proposal

The US president has told reporters as he departed the White House that Israeli and Arab leaders had accepted the plan and “we’re just waiting for Hamas”.

Trump also said he is giving Hamas three to four days to respond to the ceasefire proposal.


And then what? Carte Blanche for genocide? Carry on bombing and staving innocent civilians? Carry on ethnically cleansing Gaza and the West Bank?

Trump’s proposal to Hamas an ‘ultimatum’, not ‘offer’

Trump said he will give Hamas three to four days to meet his demands. He also spoke about how Hamas leadership has changed because of Israeli attacks on its members and mentioned that he sees this deal as about far more than Gaza but something leading to a wider peace within the region.

This plan is not an offer, as Trump made quite clear. It’s an ultimatum. We’ve heard an inkling of what could happen should Hamas not comply.

Trump has specifically told Netanyahu that if Hamas doesn’t accept, he has got to do what he’s got to do, which is effectively a green light for intensified Israeli action in Gaza, wiping the board clean from all the wonderful promises contained in the 20-point plan, including Israel’s phased withdrawal from Gaza, self-governance in Gaza, the return of the people from Gaza if they want … and an absolute confirmation that the people of Gaza will not be removed.

It's not a proposal or peace plan, it's terms for surrender to indefinite occupation.
