President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Israel has agreed to the proposed conditions of a cease-fire in the ongoing war in Gaza, signaling a major breakthrough in international negotiations. However, the militant group Hamas has not yet responded to the proposal.
What he’s saying
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that “productive” meetings were held with Israeli representatives and that key terms of a 60-day cease-fire agreement had been accepted by Israel.
What’s next
According to Trump, the final cease-fire proposal will be delivered to Hamas by Qatari and Egyptian mediators. These nations have been central players in ongoing talks aimed at ending months of bloodshed in the region.
There has been no official response from Hamas as of Tuesday afternoon, and it remains unclear whether the group will accept the deal. The proposal reportedly includes a 60-day cessation of hostilities during which broader peace efforts would be pursued.
Context
The war between Israel and Hamas has raged since October 2023, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties and displacing over a million people. Multiple cease-fire efforts have collapsed over disagreements on hostage exchanges, humanitarian aid access, and future governance of Gaza.
Trump has repeatedly promised to broker “the ultimate deal” in the Middle East since returning to office in January 2025, leveraging U.S. pressure and regional diplomacy to move parties toward a negotiated solution.
