There are believed to be 48 hostages still being held in Gaza — 20 of whom believed to still be alive. Two Americans are among the dead — Itay Chen, 19, and Omer Neutra, 21.

The news comes as Trump issued a 6 p.m. Sunday deadline for Hamas to agree to his peace deal, threatening that “all hell” would break loose if it didn’t. Trump unveiled his 20-point proposal on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Islamic group also said it was willing to hand administrative control of Gaza to an independent Palestinian body — provided it is formed by national consensus and backed by Arab and Islamic states, according to a statement published by Al Jazeera.

Hamas stressed that questions over Gaza’s long-term governance and broader Palestinian rights could only be decided within a wider national framework that includes all factions.

Earlier on Friday, Trump gave Hamas until 6 p.m. ET on Sunday to accept a 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan his administration unveiled, warning that failure to do so would bring “all hell” down on the group.

Important Statement

On Hamas’ Response to U.S. President Trump’s Proposal

Out of keenness to end the aggression and genocide being carried out against our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, and stemming from national responsibility, and in defense of the constants, rights, and higher interests of our people, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has conducted in-depth consultations within its leadership institutions, broad consultations with Palestinian forces and factions, and consultations with brothers, mediators, and friends, in order to reach a responsible position in dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan.

After thorough study, the movement has made its decision and conveyed the following response to the mediators:

Hamas appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump, calling for an end to the war on the Gaza Strip, the exchange of prisoners, the immediate entry of aid, the rejection of the occupation of the Strip, and the rejection of the displacement of our Palestinian people from it.

Within this framework, and in a manner that achieves an end to the war and a full withdrawal from the Strip, the movement announces its approval of releasing all occupation prisoners—both living and remains—according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump’s proposal, with the necessary field conditions for implementing the exchange. In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter, through the mediators, into negotiations to discuss the details.

The movement also reaffirms its approval to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing.

As for other issues included in President Trump’s proposal concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, this is tied to a collective national position and in accordance with relevant international laws and resolutions, to be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, in which Hamas will be included and will contribute with full responsibility.
