Israel says it’s ready to implement Trump Gaza plan after Hamas response
Following Hamas’s response to President Trump’s Gaza plan, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now signalled Israel’s readiness to implement the “first stage of Trump’s plan for the immediate release of all the hostages”.
“We will continue to work in full cooperation with the president and his team to end the war in accordance with the principles laid out by Israel, which correspond with Trump’s vision for ending the war,” it said in a statement.
The statement, however, made no reference to President Trump’s call for Israel to “immediately” halt its deadly bombing of Gaza, which the US leader said was essential to ensure the safe release of the Israeli captives.

World leaders welcome Hamas response to Trump Gaza plan
As we have been reporting, Hamas has signalled its acceptance of core elements of President Trump’s proposed plan to end the war in Gaza, in what the US leader described as an “unprecedented” development.
World leaders, nations and the UN have all praised the development. Here’s what’s been said so far:
- Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it welcomed Hamas’s statement, as well as its “readiness to release all hostages”. It also supported Trump’s call for Israel to immediately halt its attacks on Gaza.
- Egypt expressed its “appreciation” for the Hamas statement, as well as the US leader’s “realistic political vision” to achieve “peace and stability” in the Middle East. Egypt said it hoped this “positive development” would lead to all parties rising “to the level of responsibility required” to end the war.
- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described Hamas’s response as a “constructive and a significant step toward achieving lasting peace”, as he called on Israel to “immediately stop all its attacks”.
- French President Emmanuel Macron said Hamas’s commitment “must be followed up without delay”, saying there is an opportunity to “make decisive progress towards peace”.
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said “peace in Gaza and the release of the hostages are within reach”.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was “encouraged” by Hamas’s statement, as he urged all parties to “seize the opportunity” to bring the conflict to an end.
Egypt, France, Germany and Guterres are all complicit and want to see the genocide narrative replaced with 'peace' (occupation) plan. So no wonder they're among the first to welcome the "Yes, But" response.
Note how only Qatar and Turkey add in Trump's call to immediately halt Israel's attacks on Gaza.
Italy, UK, Australia and Colombia all hail progress on Trump’s Gaza plan

Here are a few more:

- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Hamas’s “acceptance of the US peace plan is a significant step forward”. He also said President Trump’s plan had “brought us closer to peace than ever before”.
- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Canberra “welcomes progress on President Trump’s plan to bring peace to Gaza”. He called on Hamas to “agree to the plan, lay down its arms and release all remaining hostages without delay”.
- Colombian President Gustavo Petro said he agrees with Trump “this time”, as he demanded the “cessation of the genocide”. Petro added that if Trump “moves his army to stop the oppression over Palestine, that army will be accompanied by the army of Colombia”.
