Malaysian PM says he disagrees with ‘much’ of US plan, but ‘priority’ to save Palestinian lives
Malaysian leader Anwar Ibrahim has said his government still holds major reservations about Trump’s Gaza plan, despite several countries sounding their support following Hamas’s Friday statement signalling their agreement with core elements of the proposal.
“The peace plan presented by the United States is not perfect, and we even disagree with much of it. However, our current priority is to save the lives of the Palestinian people,” he said on Saturday.
“The endorsement by Arab and Islamic countries is not a sign of agreement with everything outlined in that plan, but a collective step to halt the bloodshed, reject expulsion and give the people of Gaza the opportunity to return to their homeland,” Anwar said.
Israel, Hamas see ‘way out’ of war and ‘wiggle room’ in Trump plan: Analyst
Glenn Carle, a former US intelligence officer, told Al Jazeera earlier that both parties in the conflict are seeing Trump’s plan for Gaza as a “way out” of the fighting that also allows “a lot of wiggle room” to interpret details to their advantage.
“There has been an impasse from both sides,” Carle said, adding that the comments by all sides on the ceasefire plan “give them outs and leeway to continue doing what they want to do”.
“So I think it is a success in the making in that it will stop the fighting – that’s progress. And it will ease the situation for the Palestinians. But both sides have given themselves a lot of wiggle room, as you read their statements,” Carle said.
“Hamas is in a tight spot. It really has no way forward except to release the hostages. It is doing so to take some of the pressure off and survive,” he said.
“There is a recognition that the White House is pressuring Netanyahu and Hamas is in a difficult circumstance, and so it is in each side’s interest – at least in the narrow sense – to stop the fighting for now,” he added.
It's not a fight nor conflict nor war, it's a genocide / ethnocide / holodomor. The impasse has always been on the Israeli side. But it will be great if Trump can actually get Netanyahu to kill fewer Palestinians daily. Now get the aid in to start trying to avert further man made famine.

India’s Modi hails Trump’s efforts to deliver ‘decisive progress’ in Gaza
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Donald Trump’s “leadership” for his peace efforts in Gaza that have made “decisive progress”.
In a post on social media, Modi tagged the US President’s X accounts, saying: “Indications of the release of hostages mark a significant step forward. India will continue to strongly support all efforts towards a durable and just peace.”
What are they all going to say after the prisoner swap and Netanyahu refuses to honor the rest of the 'peace' plan.
