Progress Towards Gaza Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Negotiations
An Israeli official announced that the country has accepted a 60-day ceasefire deal outlined by former President Trump. Hamas has indicated a willingness to reach a ceasefire agreement, although they insist on longstanding demands, including a complete end to hostilities. Trump stated that Israel has agreed to the conditions and urged Hamas to accept the deal, warning that failure to agree would worsen the situation. As both sides review the proposals, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to meet with Trump next week to discuss the situation further. Despite these developments, Israeli officials caution that expectations should be tempered as discussions continue under heavy U.S. pressure.
