Hamas said on Saturday it remained ready to proceed with a US-backed Gaza peace plan and called for pressure on Israel, which insists it did not agree to the latest part of the deal. The statement came amid ongoing efforts by the Trump administration's Board of Peace to implement the plan, which includes Hamas disarmament and a phased Israeli withdrawal.

Coverage Comparison

Two news outlets reported on the development from different angles. Dawn, a Pakistani English-language daily, emphasized Israel's opposition to the plan and framed the Israeli position as an obstacle. The Jerusalem Post, an Israeli English-language newspaper, presented the plan as a breakthrough and highlighted the role of the United States in brokering the agreement.

Dawn reported that Hamas has informed the Board of Peace that it stands by the latest stage of the plan, under which the group would hand over weapons to a nascent Palestinian governing committee. The outlet quoted a Hamas official, speaking on condition of anonymity, as saying that Hamas and other factions have confirmed their readiness to move to the second phase, provided Israel approves and begins implementing the agreement. The official urged the US administration to exert pressure on Israel to comply.

The Jerusalem Post, meanwhile, focused on the plan's details, reporting that it includes the creation of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a Palestinian-led government, and the decommissioning of heavy weapons and tunnels by an International Stabilization Force. The outlet also noted the plan includes an internal social peace agreement between Gaza's factions and aims to develop Gaza's workforce through job training, education, healthcare, and other essential services.

Perspectives

Hamas: Hamas reaffirmed its readiness to implement the next phase of the peace plan, provided Israel approves and begins implementation. The group urged the US administration to pressure Israel to abide by the agreement.

Israel: Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel had not agreed to the latest part of the deal, and the Israeli military vowed to keep hitting Hamas. Israel's position, as conveyed by the Board of Peace representative, is that withdrawal will occur only after full disarmament by Hamas.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
