Palestinian Groups Submit Roadmap Plan Response to Hamas

Kathmandu. Palestinian armed militant group (Hamas) has submitted the response of the Palestinian groups on the roadmap plan for peace in Gaza.

Hamas said in a statement on Sunday, “The Palestinian groups have presented their response to the roadmap plan for peace in Gaza to the high representative for Gaza, Nikolay Mladenov, of the US-led Peace Committee (Board of Peace) on Saturday.”

The statement said, “Hamas movement, other Palestinian groups and mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey presented a unified proposal on Saturday after holding several meetings in Cairo last week.

Hamas has emphasized strict adherence to the roadmap's provisions on the entry of the administrative committee, the full withdrawal of Israel, and reconstruction. This proposal has been presented to pave the way for the Palestinian people to establish their state and secure their right to self-determination.

He said, “Hamas delegation and other groups will continue their meetings with mediators in Cairo to advance the implementation of any agreements.”

Mladenov had published the roadmap for completing the implementation of President Trump's Gaza peace plan on social media last May. The 15-point roadmap covers areas such as security, security forces for international stability, Israeli withdrawal, and reconstruction.

These meetings of Palestinian factions in Cairo are taking place at a time when the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel is facing failure to implement its key provisions, including disarmament and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire agreement between the two sides has been in effect since October 2025. In its first phase, it has fulfilled important responsibilities such as the exchange of prisoners and detainees, the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from some areas.

The United States announced that it would start the second phase of its proposed peace plan in mid-January, which includes the full withdrawal of Israel from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, the start of reconstruction efforts, and the establishment of a transitional administrative body in the Gaza Strip.
