An unnamed US official told the Washington Post that Hamas has accepted a draft agreement through Egyptian mediators. The official stated that this draft is not significantly different from the 20-point plan Israel agreed to in principle approximately one year ago.
Despite the initial alignment, the US official noted that Tel Aviv's position may have changed since the initial agreement on the 20-point plan. Consequently, the United States is asking Israel to comply with the framework it initially accepted.
We are extremely confident that they will adhere to this plan.
The stakes for compliance are framed in personal terms regarding the US presidency. The official said US President Donald Trump would be 'very, very disappointed' if Israel does not comply with the 20-point plan.
Acknowledging the complexities of the negotiations, the official described the effort as an attempt to achieve the difficult. 'We will try to do something very, very impossible,' the official said.
