New: Palestinian Islamic Jihad: We will study Trump’s proposal with Hamas; the PA must join in a unified position
Islamic Jihad spokesperson Mohammed al-Hajj Mousa told Ultra Palestine on Tuesday evening that Hamas and the other resistance factions will soon meet to draft a unified response to Trump’s ceasefire proposal. “The paper is not about Hamas alone but about the entire Palestinian people,” he added.
Here are the key points from the interview:
Unified stance: Mousa said all factions must help shape a joint reply. The Palestinian Authority, “politically threatened” at this stage, must join with the factions to form a national position.
Arab position vs. U.S.-Israel plan: He welcomed the joint statement by Qatar, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt calling for full Israeli withdrawal, unrestricted aid, no displacement, and Gaza’s reunification with the West Bank.
Israeli project, not ceasefire:
Mousa said Trump’s version “grants Israel legitimacy to impose political, geographic, demographic, and ideological changes in Gaza.”
He stressed that the “plan looks more like a comprehensive Israeli project than a ceasefire initiative, since it entrenches division between the West Bank and Gaza and provides cover for Israel’s long-term presence in the Strip.”
”The plan, as reported in the media and as expressed in Trump and Netanyahu’s statements, reflects an explicit Israeli proposal drafted after meetings with Jared Kushner. Media leaks show that the amendments differ from prior understandings reached with Arab parties, confirming an attempt to exclude Palestinians from drafting and to impose pre-packaged solutions.”
Unresolved issues: Key elements remain vague, including:
how humanitarian aid will be distributed – “for which no clear mechanism of distribution has been defined,”
the Israeli military withdrawal process,
and the “disarmament clause, which requires detailed clarification.”
No trust in U.S. guarantees: Mousa stressed that “no agreement can rest on American guarantees,” as Washington continues to arm Israel. Palestinians need binding and multiple Arab and international guarantees.
Call to Arab leaders: “If Arabs have a real role, they must pressure Trump to adopt their statement. After all the sacrifices of our people, our goal with all factions remains to stop the war and stop the genocide.”
Background: Trump’s 20-point plan, presented with Netanyahu, calls for handing over all Israeli captives within 72 hours in exchange for a halt to Israeli operations, a phased withdrawal tied to Hamas’ disarmament, and an international governance body led by Trump and Tony Blair.
