The NY Post had these additional details:
Hamas said Friday that it’s agreed to release all Israeli hostages — living and dead — and said it was ready to begin negotiations for a peace deal.
In a statement, the militant group said it had held “extensive consultations” before agreeing to terms based on President Trump’s proposal for an end to the fighting in Gaza.
Hamas said it was ready to immediately begin negotiations through mediators to finalize details of the arrangement.
In a statement, the militant group said it had held “extensive consultations” before agreeing to terms based on President Trump’s proposal for an end to the fighting in Gaza.
There are believed to be 48 hostages still being held in Gaza — 20 of whom believed to still be alive. Two Americans are among the dead — Itay Chen, 19, and Omer Neutra, 21.
The news comes as Trump issued a 6 p.m. Sunday deadline for Hamas to agree to his peace deal, threatening that “all hell” would break loose if it didn’t. Trump unveiled his 20-point proposal on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Islamic group also said it was willing to hand administrative control of Gaza to an independent Palestinian body — provided it is formed by national consensus and backed by Arab and Islamic states, according to a statement published by Al Jazeera.
ADVERTISEMENTHamas stressed that questions over Gaza’s long-term governance and broader Palestinian rights could only be decided within a wider national framework that includes all factions.
Earlier on Friday, Trump gave Hamas until 6 p.m. ET on Sunday to accept a 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan his administration unveiled, warning that failure to do so would bring “all hell” down on the group.
