Egypt Intensifies Diplomatic Push to Secure Hamas Approval for Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

Displaced Palestinians walk south as they flee Gaza City, following an Israeli evacuation order, amid an Israeli military operation, Gaza City, October 2, 2025.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced that Cairo is actively coordinating with Qatar and Turkey to persuade Hamas to accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan aimed at ending the nearly two-year war in Gaza. Speaking at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris, Abdelatty emphasized the urgency of the situation, warning that rejection of the plan could lead to further escalation of the conflict.

The Trump administration recently unveiled a 20-point proposal calling for an immediate ceasefire, a staged Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, and the establishment of a transitional government led by an international body. Hamas has been given three to four days to respond.

Abdelatty expressed cautious support for the plan, noting that while Egypt backs the vision to end the war, key issues such as governance and security arrangements require further negotiation. He also firmly rejected any possibility of forced displacement of Palestinians, stating, “Displacement means the end of the Palestinian cause. We will not allow this to happen under any circumstances”.
