Conversation: Senior Hamas official tells NHK more time needed to release all hostages NHK

A: Hey there! Heard any news lately?
B: Not much, what's up?

A: There's this thing with Hamas and Israel... They agreed on a peace plan proposed by President Trump, but it looks like they're having trouble releasing the hostages as planned.

B: Oh? What happened?

A: Well, Hamas said they need more time to release all 48 hostages. They mentioned that it's tricky due to the current situation on the ground and certain conditions like guarantees against attacks and an agreement on the exchange mechanism must be met first.

B: I see... So they can't just let them go right away?

A: Exactly! And it seems that even the mediating countries understand that it might take a bit longer than 72 hours.

B: Interesting... By the way, have you heard anything about Hamas giving up their weapons or stepping down from governance in Gaza?

A: Not really. In fact, Hamdan, who's from Hamas' political wing, hinted that they won't be disarming anytime soon and that Hamas has no intention of quitting participation in governance in the future.

B: Wow, that sounds complicated... I wonder how this will all play out.
Summary
Discussion about ongoing Middle East conflict: Hamas and Israel agree on Trump's peace plan, but are struggling to release hostages due to complex conditions. Hamas requires guarantees against attacks and an agreed exchange mechanism. No signs of Hamas disarming or stepping down from Gaza
