President Trump announced on social media that Israel agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, urging Hamas to accept a final proposal to resolve the almost two-year war. While Israeli officials have not confirmed agreement details, some signs suggest negotiations may be revitalizing, with Hamas reportedly making concessions. Israeli public support for a deal is increasing. Behind-the-scenes efforts by US officials are continuing, with Trump scheduled to meet with Netanyahu to further the peace process. Reports highlight a potential window of opportunity for resolution.
Trump declared that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire and called for Hamas to accept an ending proposal to the ongoing war. He stated, "My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE..." He expressed hope that Hamas would accept the deal, warning that the situation would worsen if they did not.
Despite Trump's announcement, Israeli officials have not confirmed the details of any agreement and reports suggest that negotiations are still stalled. However, some Israeli newspapers reported movement between the sides, indicating Hamas may have made concessions.
In a sign of a potential breakthrough, a government source indicated that a window of opportunity had opened for peace talks. Israeli polls also suggest a growing public support for a deal as Netanyahu adjusts his position after military successes.
Negotiations seem to be spearheaded by US envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, following previous Israeli proposals, while Trump is expected to meet Netanyahu to discuss the situation further.
