Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman announced on Tuesday evening that there are issues in US President Donald Trump’s plan regarding the Gaza Strip that “need clarification and negotiation.”

Bin Abdulrahman told Al Jazeera TV: “We handed over Trump’s plan to Hamas’ negotiating delegation yesterday (Monday), and the discussions were general.”

He added: “We hope everyone looks at the plan constructively and takes the opportunity to end the war.”

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US support, has been committing a genocide in Gaza, resulting in 66,097 deaths and 168,536 injuries, mostly children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 453 Palestinians including 150 children.

Bin Abdulrahman continued: “So far, we do not know Hamas’ response to the plan, which requires consensus with Palestinian factions.”

He considered that the plan “achieves a main goal of ending the war, and there are issues that need clarification and negotiation,” without giving details.

He added: “We and Egypt (the mediating countries) clarified to Hamas during our meeting yesterday our main goal of stopping the war.”

He confirmed that “Hamas acted responsibly and promised to study the plan.”

“Qatar’s main focus now is how to end the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza,” Bin Abdulrahman added.

He continued: “Our focus now is to end the war, famine, killing, and displacement in Gaza.”

Regarding the plan’s details, he said: “What was presented yesterday are principles in the plan that need discussion on their details and how to work through them.”

He added that “Arab and Islamic countries have exerted efforts to keep Palestinians on their land and reach a two-state solution.”

He stressed that “the current phase is important and is part of negotiations not expected to come out in perfect language.”

He confirmed that “we must build on the current path and make it effective and successful.”
