Trump announces: Israel agrees to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.. Will Hamas accept?

In a new development in the efforts to calm the Middle East, US President Donald Trump announced yesterday, Tuesday, that Israel has agreed to the terms of a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, indicating that all parties will work during this period to end the war permanently.

Trump confirmed that the Israeli agreement came after a long and productive meeting his team held with Israeli officials on Tuesday, describing the talks as "extremely constructive".

He expressed hope that "Hamas accepts this offer, for the benefit of the entire region", warning that the situation may worsen if an agreement is not reached.

Trump pointed out that Qatar and Egypt, which played a pivotal role in the mediation, will be responsible for delivering the final proposal to the parties, in a step aimed at pushing the negotiations towards tangible results.

In statements to reporters before leaving the White House heading to a detention center in Florida, Trump explained that he hopes to reach a ceasefire within the next week, emphasizing that he will be "firm" in his upcoming meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, scheduled to take place at the White House next Monday.

He added that the discussions with Netanyahu will include the files of Gaza and Iran, indicating that the talks will extend to cover broader regional issues directly affecting the stability of the Middle East.

This development comes amidst intense diplomatic movements led by Washington, with active participation from Doha and Cairo, to end the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, which has cast its shadow on regional and international stability.

Observers believe that Hamas' acceptance of this proposal could be a crucial turning point in the conflict, at a time when international pressure is increasing to stop the fighting and begin the reconstruction process.
