On October 3, 2025, Hamas stated its acceptance of key elements of the plan, hours after a statement from President Trump. The organization agreed to release all Israeli hostages and transfer power to a technocratic Palestinian body under international supervision.

The proposed peace plan includes an international oversight framework involving Tony Blair, the UN, and Red Crescent organizations to manage Gaza’s transition. Egypt and Qatar are designated as mediators, with international bodies overseeing reconstruction efforts and humanitarian aid distribution.

While Hamas has accepted the framework, discussions are ongoing regarding the disarmament of Hamas and the specific mechanisms for transferring power. These issues are considered crucial for long-term stability and Israeli security. The agreement has been described as a significant diplomatic development.
