Hamas Says It Will Study Trump's Peace Plan Before Responding

Hamas says it will study U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza both within the group and with other Palestinian factions before responding. There was no indication on Tuesday when that response might come. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already thrown his support behind the proposal. Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands that it effectively surrender and disarm. But if it rejects the deal, the U.S. could give Israel an even freer hand to continue its punishing campaign in the already devastated territory. Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed at least 31 Palestinian in Gaza.
