Hamas responded Friday to President Donald Trump's proposal for peace in Gaza, as the president gave a deadline of 6 p.m. ET Sunday to sign on to the plan he unveiled earlier this week.

Hamas said it will release all remaining hostages if Israel withdraws from Gaza and "proper field conditions are met." More negotiations will need to take place to finalize the deal, which Trump unveiled Monday while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

Any agreement could mean an end to the Israel Defense Forces' operation to take control of Gaza City, the largest urban area in the Gaza Strip.

Multiple Western nations recognized Palestinian statehood in recent weeks while also demanding that Hamas not be part of any future government.

Netanyahu said that Israel will not allow an independent Palestinian state to exist.

Among the dead were five people who were killed while seeking humanitarian aid, the ministry said in a post to Telegram. Forty-eight people were also injured while seeking aid, the post said.

The deaths bring the total death toll in Gaza since the ongoing war began on Oct. 7, 2023, to 66,055, the ministry said, with 168,346 people injured.

The casualty toll since Israel broke the last ceasefire on March 18 stands at 13,187 people killed and 56,305 people injured, the ministry said.

The two sides are yet to agree on the role of the Palestinian Authority -- the government exercising limited control over parts of the West Bank, in cooperation with Israeli authorities -- in post-war Gaza, the extent of Israeli security control and freedom of action in post-war Gaza and the pace and timeline of Hamas disarmament, the sources said.

The details of the Trump administration's plan have not been publicly announced.
