U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Hamas has agreed “in principle” to President Donald Trump’s peace proposal, which includes a framework for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Speaking to reporters, Rubio called the development an “enormous achievement” and credited mounting international pressure for pushing Hamas toward cooperation. “They have said, basically, that they agree to his proposal and the framework for releasing the hostages,” Rubio stated. “There’s a lot of international pressure on Hamas to make this happen.”

While details of the implementation remain under discussion, U.S. officials have described the move as a major diplomatic breakthrough that could open the door to broader regional stabilization efforts.

The White House has not yet released a formal timeline for the agreement’s next steps but emphasized that humanitarian and security assurances are central to the plan.
