Hamas Pressed by Arab, Muslim States to Accept Trump's Gaza Plan

"Arab and Muslim national leaders are pushing Hamas to accept the Gaza plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump this week, saying the need to end the fighting surpasses concern about the finer details.

While some aspects of the 20-point proposal differ from what Trump agreed to with those leaders at a recent meeting in New York, they are united behind the goal of ending Israel’s military offensive in the shattered territory, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

The leaders see Israel’s campaign in Gaza since the October 2023 Hamas attacks and the assertion of military hegemony over the Middle East as a threat to their own national security, said the people, who asked not to be identified in order to speak freely. Israel has been seeking to destroy Hamas for almost two years, devastating Gaza in the process and precipitating a humanitarian crisis, with scenes of dying and starving Palestinians broadcast around the world."

Something that makes it even more clear you're copy/pasting from an article or whatnot (rather than double-quotes at the start and end) are the Excerpt tags.

Highlight your copied text and click the big double-quote icon (tool-tip will say 'excerpt box' for it if you're on system with a mouse) just above the message window, for me it's the 8th button from left. This will show as excerpt open/close tags in the editor and when you post to DU it'll look like this section.


This makes it really easy for readers to differentiate between the DU'ers editorial (whatever is not in an excerpt box, except for in this post right here lol) and directly-copied content (in an excerpt box)
