"The United States's 20-point plan to end Israel's war in Gaza is not the same as the draft proposed by a group of Arab and Muslim countries, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said. I made it clear that the 20 points that President (Donald) Trump made public are not ours. Changes were made to our draft. I have the record, Dar said, speaking to politicians on Friday, according to remarks carried by Dawn news."
"Its release came a few minutes before Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood next to each other at the White House to announce the plan. There, Trump told Hamas it had 72 hours to accept the proposal. On Tuesday, he gave the Palestinian group three to four days to agree to the plan. Meanwhile, Hamas political bureau member Mohammad Nazzal told Al Jazeera on Thursday that the group was discussing Trump's plan and would soon announce its position on the proposal. We are not dealing [with the plan] under the logic that time is a sword pointed at our neck, Nazzal said."
Pakistan objects to the US 20-point Gaza plan, asserting it deviates from a draft prepared by Arab and Muslim countries and that alterations were made to the original proposal. The United States released the plan publicly at a White House event where President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced it. The plan includes a ceasefire, return of captives, Hamas disarmament, and a new political architecture for post-war Gaza that would exclude Hamas. Short deadlines were given for Hamas to accept the proposal. Hamas officials said the group is discussing the plan and rejected being pressured by compressed timelines. Reports indicate Israeli requests prompted significant changes to the draft.
