President Reveals Israel Has Agreed to Conditions for 60-Day Ceasefire with Hamas

President Trump announced that Israel has consented to the terms of a proposed 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, which is now being presented to the group for approval. He shared that his representatives had productive talks with Israeli officials concerning the situation in Gaza and that Israel agrees to the conditions necessary to finalize the truce.

According to Trump, mediators from Qatar and Egypt—who have been actively working towards peace—will deliver the proposal. He urged Hamas to accept the deal, emphasizing that the situation is unlikely to improve and could worsen if they do not agree.

Efforts to negotiate this ceasefire have been ongoing for months, with Hamas previously rejecting a US-backed proposal in May that included a total withdrawal of Israeli troops and a permanent ceasefire. Hamas’s demands had also included the release of the remaining hostages and the bodies of those killed, but these conditions were quickly dismissed by the U.S. Middle East envoy.

Earlier, Trump stated he hopes to sign the ceasefire agreement next week, highlighting successful negotiations between Israel and Iran that happened recently. Meanwhile, Israel has issued new evacuation orders in northern Gaza, signaling preparations for a possible renewed offensive against Hamas.

Details of the current ceasefire plan have not yet been disclosed, and the situation remains tense. The conflict, which escalated after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, has led to ongoing efforts by regional parties to establish a lasting armistice.
