The Palestinian Authority on Monday voiced approval for President Donald Trump’s initiative aimed at bringing an end to the conflict in Gaza.
In comments carried by AFP, the PA declared it “welcomes the sincere and determined efforts of President Donald J Trump to end the war on Gaza, and affirms its confidence in his ability to find a path toward peace”.
Al Jazeera reported that Qatar and Egypt, the two states acting as intermediaries, formally presented Trump’s proposal to Hamas.
The outlet noted that Hamas informed the go-betweens that it would give Trump’s plan a thorough evaluation.
Islamic Jihad’s head, Ziyad Nakhala, dismissed Trump’s approach, saying, “What was announced at the press conference of Trump and Netanyahu is an American-Israeli agreement that fully reflects Israel’s position and serves as a recipe for continued aggression against the Palestinian people.”
He further asserted, “Through this, Israel is attempting, via the US, to impose what it failed to achieve in the war. Therefore, we consider the American-Israeli declaration a recipe for igniting the region.”
