News - Middle East: The Acting Prime Minister of the government, Alama Mohammed Maftah, lauded the response of Hamas and Palestinian resistance factions, describing it as “positive, wise, and successful.”

He emphasized that the stance reflects the resistance’s seriousness in protecting the Palestinian people and shielding them from the ravages of aggression.

In a statement to Almasirah, Alama Maftah said, “The Palestinian resistance’s response nullifies any justification or pretext for continuing the genocide in the Gaza Strip,” adding that it blocks any attempt to legitimize ongoing Israeli enemy crimes against innocent civilians.

He further noted that the response demonstrates Hamas’ sincere commitment and its responsible efforts to halt the Zionist extermination and siege of the people of Gaza.

The Acting Prime Minister highlighted that such positions bolster the image of the Palestinian resistance in regional and international forums, proving that the factions act with high responsibility to restore the rights of the Palestinian people according to fair and just standards.

On September 29, 2025, Trump unveiled a 20-point ceasefire plan for Gaza. Despite its stated goals, the plan has been criticized by Palestinian groups and human rights organizations, who argue it focuses more on disarming Gaza than ensuring civilian safety.

Human Rights Watch has warned that any ceasefire not accompanied by lifting the siege will only perpetuate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
