U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel has agreed to a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.
Speaking to the media, Trump said this progress came after positive discussions with Israeli officials. The proposal aims to bring a temporary halt to the conflict and give room for peaceful negotiations.
According to Trump, Qatar and Egypt will now take the lead in presenting the final version of the agreement to all involved parties. Both countries have played an important role in mediating previous talks and are expected to push for support from all sides.
Trump added that he is hopeful Hamas will also agree to the terms, which would mark a major step toward calming the situation in the region. He called the proposed ceasefire a “move in the right direction” for achieving peace and stability in the Middle East.
While details of the agreement have not been made public yet, officials believe the 60-day truce could allow for the delivery of aid, protection of civilians, and further diplomatic efforts.
If accepted by all parties, the ceasefire may open the door for broader negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza.
International observers are watching closely, hoping this proposal can help reduce tensions and bring relief to people affected by the violence.
Trump’s announcement has been met with cautious optimism, though the final outcome will depend on Hamas’ response and how the proposal is implemented on the ground.
