Today, representatives of Hamas, Qatar and Turkey meet for talks about the US Gaza plan. The outside world is holding its breath while waiting for an answer from the extremist movement.

Hamas is now going through the peace proposal "responsibly", says Majed al-Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, to the news agency AFP.

Representatives of the extremist movement are said to have received the document in Doha late on Monday. Due to logistical problems, the discussions may take several days, according to an AFP source close to the terror-stamped Hamas.

According to an American CBS News source, who is said to have insight into the process, Hamas is inclined to fairly quickly accept the terms of the plan. The source claims that a response is likely to come as early as tomorrow, Wednesday.

To Reuters says at the same time another source close to Hamas that Donald Trump's peace plan is "completely biased" towards Israel and contains "impossible conditions" that aim to eliminate the movement.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Monday that he has approved the plan. The 20-point proposal would mean an almost immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. All remaining hostages would be released and a temporary technocratic government, supervised by a "peace council" led by US President Donald Trump, would be introduced in Gaza.
