Palestinian group Hamas says it is reviewing the peace proposal presented by U.S. President Donald Trump, though the BBC reports that they may reject the plan.
Hamas reportedly says the deal favours Israel and not the Palestinian people.
Trump has given them three to four days to accept, or the U.S. will fully back Israel to do as they wish.
Donald Trump's peace plan to end the war in Gaza has been largely accepted, if not hailed, around the world.
The U.S., Israel and other stakeholders are now awaiting a response from Hamas, the Palestinian group that attacked southern Israel on October 7th, 2023.
The fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also accepted the terms of Trump's 20-point peace plan may cast doubt in the minds of Hamas leaders.
As Gaza continues to be pounded by Israel, the death toll surpassing 66,000 people, Netanyahu has repeatedly said he would not accept Palestinian statehood, which Hamas says is a condition for laying down their arms and disbanding.
The group said it would first discuss the proposal with other factions. The BBC quoted a senior Hamas official as saying the proposal "serves Israel's interests" and "ignores those of the Palestinian people."
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urges all parties to agree to the plan.
"The Secretary-General welcomes the announcement yesterday by U.S. President Trump, intended to achieve a ceasefire and sustainable peace for Gaza and for the region," said deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq. "He further appreciates the important role of Arab and Muslim states in working to this end. It is now crucial that all parties commit to an agreement and its implementation."
Hamas, who must release all hostages within 72 hours as part of the proposal, is reportedly wary of having an international stabilisation force providing security in Gaza.
Among those also skeptical about the plan are some relatIves of hostages and soldiers.
At a rally in Tel Aviv, they urged Trump not to be duped by Netanyahu, who they say has thwarted past potential deals.
"Mr Trump, we saw yesterday that you see us and relate to this," said Elan, a father of two soldiers. "We admire your help, but we must warn you, be careful because he (Netanyahu) may fool you again. Don't let him fool you."
Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for a missile attack on a Dutch-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden.
The attack set the Minervagracht ablaze on Monday, wounding two mariners and forcing the crew to abandon ship.
