Hamas says it is prepared to release all Israeli hostages, but says other elements of Donald Trump’s Gaza plan need negotiation.

Mr Trump said he believed Hamas had shown it was “ready for a lasting PEACE” and he put the onus on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

Hamas issued its response to Mr Trump’s 20-point plan after the president gave the Palestinian militant group until Monday, AEST, to accept or face grave consequences.
