A senior Hamas official has refused Donald Trump's proposal to have a "Board of Peace" transitional administration which will oversee post-war Gaza. The board would be headed by the US President himself and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Hamas official Osama Hamdan, who has been involved in previous negotiations between the terrorist group and the US, said no Palestinian faction would ever accept such a plan.
"All the factions, including the Palestinian Authority, reject this," he told a local Qatar television network on Thursday. A ceasefire has been agreed by Israel and Hamas in Gaza which will allow for the release of the remaining hostages held inside the strip in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
The plan, unveiled by Mr Trump on September 29, also called for post-war Gaza to be governed by a transitional authority, including himself and Sir Tony. Mr Trump did not address the spokesman's refusal during his live-streamed cabinet meeting on Thursday. However, he said disarmament would be part of the second phase.
