The Palestinian group wants guarantees that if it releases the Israeli captives, there will be implementation of the rest of Trump’s 20-point plan, and for it to be made clear what the future governance of Gaza will look like, says Adnan Hayajneh, a professor of international relations and US foreign policy at Qatar University. Hamas was not consulted for Trump’s plan, Hayajneh added, making the group fearful that Israel could once again violate any ceasefire, as it did in March of this year. “There’ll be a long negotiation, and Hamas will take part [in] it,” Hayajneh told Al Jazeera. “And there’s a lot of reports that this might happen tonight in Cairo, with the participation of the US envoy to the region, Steve Witkoff, and [they] might try to hammer [out] all [of] these issues.” Arab leaders also aired some reservations about the plan to Trump, “but most of the reservations were not taken into consideration regarding the governance of Gaza, the military forces … the future of arms,” said the professor. “If you look at the plan, it’s almost a surrender for Hamas,” he added. “I think they’re leaving that bargaining chip which is very important, the hostages, for the last minute. They will not release the hostages without a real commitment from the Arab states.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #Hamas #TrumpPlan #Gaza #GazaWar #IsraelHamas #GazaCeasefire #HamasNegotiations #MiddleEastPolitics #USMediation #AlJazeeraEnglish
