The banishing of militants from Gaza under the US president\u2019s plan is \u201cabsurd,\u201d a spokesman for the group has told reporters<\/strong><\/p>\n Hamas representatives will not attend the signing ceremony for the US-mediated peace deal in Egypt on Monday, the group’s spokesman Husam Badran has told the press. He also voiced misgivings about certain points in the plan promoted by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, both Israel and Hamas announced an end to the conflict that has dragged on since October 7, 2023, when Palestinian militants attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages. The ensuing Israeli military campaign has claimed the lives of more than 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to local officials. The enclave has been left in ruins and plunged into a deep humanitarian crisis, prompting the UN to accuse Israel of genocide.<\/p>\n On Sunday, Al-Arabiya quoted Badran as saying that “Hamas will not be involved in the signing process. Only mediators and American and Israeli officials will be present.”<\/em> Meanwhile, Shosh Bedrosian, a spokeswoman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was quoted by AFP on Sunday as stating that “no Israeli official will attend”<\/em> the summit either.<\/p>\n The French news agency also quoted Hamas’ Badran as stressing that “talk about expelling Palestinians, whether they are Hamas members or not, from their land is absurd and nonsense.”<\/em> The Hamas representative described the implementation of the second phase of the peace plan as fraught “many complexities and difficulties.”<\/em><\/p>\n
