The head of Hamas's military wing in Gaza has rejected a new US ceasefire plan. Izz al-Din al-Haddad believes the plan aims to end Hamas. The 20-point framework requires Hamas to disarm and give up control in Gaza. It also calls for releasing all hostages within 72 hours. Some Hamas leaders in Qatar are open to the plan with changes. There are 48 remaining hostages, with only 20 thought to be alive. Hamas distrusts Israel's commitment to the ceasefire. The plan includes an international force in Gaza, which Hamas sees as occupation. Israeli PM Netanyahu wants troops to stay in parts of Gaza, contradicting the US plan. The conflict began on when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people. Since then, 66,225 people have died in Gaza due to Israeli attacks. (Updated 2 Oct 2025, 17:00 IST; source: link)
