Egypt, Qatar deliver US plan for Gaza ceasefire to Hamas

CAIRO – 29 September 2025: Egypt and Qatar delivered the US proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza to Hamas, which confirmed that it is studying the proposal positively and objectively, an official told Al Qahera News.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced details of a U.S.-proposed plan to end the Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip, giving the Hamas movement a 72-hour deadline to release all Israeli captives, contingent on Hamas’s acceptance of the plan.

In a joint Press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the US 20-point plan for Gaza on Monday at the White House, President Trump said that several Arab and Muslim leaders, including those from Egypt, supported his plan for Gaza.

He added that if Hamas rejected the proposal, Israeli Prime Minister will get the US full support to do what should be done.

Additionally, he said that Arab and Muslim countries will commit to demilitarizing Hamas and assisting in training local police forces in the Strip.

The US President also announced that a board of peace will be established to form a transitional government of Palestinian people, without Hamas. He added that he will personally chair the Board of Peace, in collaboration with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

As for the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, U.S. President Trump said that Israeli forces will withdraw from Gaza in phases.
