The Hamas movement announced its welcome of the recent statements made by US President Donald Trump, in which he acknowledged the movement's commitment to the terms of the ceasefire agreement in force in the Gaza Strip. The movement considered this recognition a positive stance that reflects the seriousness of the Palestinian factions in ending the war and achieving stability in the region according to the agreed mechanisms.
In an official post via the Telegram platform, the movement's spokesman, Hazem Qassem, affirmed that Trump's testimony about Hamas's calm and discipline refutes narratives that attempt to undermine the movement's credibility. Qassem stressed that these statements must be followed by practical steps to pressure the Israeli occupation government, which continues to violate the understandings daily since they came into effect last October.
The movement demanded that the American administration exercise its influence to compel Israel to stop its military operations and continuous incursions, to pave the way for the implementation of the remaining provisions of the war cessation plan. Sources indicated that the continuation of Israeli violations hinders progress in the humanitarian and political files stipulated in the international understandings aimed at ending the conflict in the Strip.
On the ground, official Palestinian data revealed a heavy toll of Israeli violations since the agreement came into effect on October 10, 2025, with 1007 martyrs and more than 3100 injured. Reports also monitored a significant expansion of the ground incursions by the occupation army, which now controls about 60% of the Gaza Strip, in a clear violation of the ceasefire provisions.
The US President had expressed cautious optimism about the future of the Middle East in statements to 'Fox News' on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France. Trump described Hamas's behavior during the past period as 'very calm,' noting that they had behaved largely well, despite the difficulties associated with the disarmament file that one of his plans seeks to achieve.
In a related context, Hamas announced the delivery of the unified response of the Palestinian factions to the 'roadmap' presented by the Executive Director of the Peace Council, Nikolai Mladenov. The movement reiterated its adherence to the necessity of a complete and comprehensive Israeli withdrawal from all areas of the Gaza Strip as a basic condition for moving to advanced stages of the proposed political settlement.
Mladenov's 15-item roadmap includes a comprehensive vision for the future of the Strip, including reconstruction, activation of an international stabilization force, and rebuilding the local police force. The plan emphasizes the need to immediately begin urgent humanitarian measures, including the entry of fuel and aid, opening crossings, and providing shelter for the displaced before delving into complex security details.
These diplomatic moves come at a sensitive time, as international parties seek to link the Gaza agreement to a broader regional de-escalation that includes other files in the region. Palestinian forces insist that any sustainable solution must guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people and permanently end the siege imposed on the Strip, while providing international guarantees to prevent the recurrence of Israeli aggression.
President Trump's statement regarding Hamas's full commitment to the ceasefire is a positive stance, and confirms the movement's seriousness in implementing the agreement.
