A senior Hamas official told Saudi channel "Al-Sharq" that "the movement informed mediators that it is still in the midst of consultations regarding Trump's plan for an arrangement in Gaza, and that it needs more time to complete the discussions." According to him, "Hamas will publish an official statement on its position only after completing consultations with factions and Arab countries." The official emphasized that Hamas demanded substantial amendments to the plan, especially in sections related to disarmament and the removal of the movement's leaders from Gaza, and also demanded international guarantees.
