Iraq's foreign ministry endorsed President Donald Trump's Gaza peace proposal Wednesday. The government praised the plan's calls for an immediate cease-fire and Gaza reconstruction while opposing any Israeli annexation of coastal areas. Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani backed the American initiative and urged regional parties to negotiate constructively.
Trump warned Hamas on Tuesday that the group would face severe consequences unless it accepted his terms within days. The president demanded Hamas disarm and free all hostages within 72 hours while allowing phased Israeli withdrawal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported the framework but pledged military action if Hamas rejected the offer.
Qatar hosted Tuesday talks with Hamas, Turkey and Egypt to review the proposal. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on all sides to implement the agreement immediately. The White House released a 20-point document Monday detailing cease-fire procedures, humanitarian aid distribution, transitional governance and eventual Palestinian statehood pathways.
