“We urge Hamas to accept the deal on the table,” Waltz said during a UN General Assembly meeting.
The diplomat also appealed to all UN member states to fully support the Trump administration’s plan and to pressure Hamas to do the same.
On Monday, Trump unveiled a 20-point plan to resolve the Gaza conflict. The proposal calls, among other things, for an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages within 72 hours. The plan also stipulates that Hamas and "other groups" must renounce their involvement in governing Gaza, both directly and indirectly. The enclave will be governed by a "technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee" overseen by an international board headed by Trump.
