The plan, unveiled by the White House on Monday, calls for an immediate ceasefire, the exchange of Hamas-held hostages for Palestinian prisoners in Israel, a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas disarmament and a transitional administration led by an international body, news agencies reported.
"We welcome with hope the United States’ peace plan for the Gaza Strip, developed in consultation with Arab and Muslim countries and the Israeli government," Poland's foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
It described the proposal as "a realistic and bold attempt" to end the two-year-old conflict and praised provisions for "an immediate cessation of hostilities, the release of hostages, and unimpeded humanitarian access."
It noted that the plan "paves the way for economic recovery and a two-state solution," with Gaza and the West Bank integrated into a future Palestinian state.
"This approach offers an opportunity for a just and lasting resolution, taking into account the rights and security of both Palestinians and Israelis,” the statement said, urging all parties to "seize this opportunity, make responsible decisions, and cooperate in implementing the agreement."
The Polish foreign ministry added it expected Hamas to accept the plan, comply with its terms and release all hostages within 72 hours.
Trump said on Tuesday that Hamas had "about three or four days" to respond, warning of consequences if it rejected the plan.
He told reporters that Israeli and Arab leaders had accepted the proposal "and we're just waiting for Hamas."
"Hamas is either going to be doing it or not, and if it's not, it's going to be a very sad end," Trump said, according to a report by the Reuters news agency.
