Why hasn’t Hamas accepted the peace plan as it was laid out? | DW News

Here’s a primer on the peace plan that, for now, has unprecedented international support. It’s made up of three phases. The first phase would include the release of some hostages, the return of Palestinian prisoners and partial troop withdrawal, under a six-week truce. The second phase includes a permanent cease-fire. That would mean the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip. The third phase would focus on a plan to rebuild Gaza. While Blinken has said that some of the counterproposals from Hamas are unacceptable, we still have no information on what those amendments call for.
