Hamas Hopes Netanyahu Elections Defeat Will Unlock Gaza Ceasefire Plan
Hamas is looking to Tuesday’s Israeli parliamentary election in the hope that it will pave the way for implementing US President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, particularly reconstruction and the transfer of authority to a Palestinian administrative committee. Two Hamas sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that the group’s leadership had sent a message to mediators and the Board of Peace “expressing hope that Trump’s plan and a roadmap agreed upon months ago in Cairo would move forward after the election.”
