President Donald Trump of the United States on Tuesday confirmed that Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions for a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza war and it is now up to Hamas to accept the deal.
In a post on his Truth Social, Trump said during the two-month period, the United States will work with all parties to end the conflict.
The Republican reiterated that representatives from Qatar and Egypt, who have been heavily involved in peace efforts, will deliver this latest proposal to the Palestinian extremist organisation, Hamas.
“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better – IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump said in his post.
According to him, representatives held a long and productive meeting with Israeli officials on Tuesday to discuss Gaza.
At the time of filing this report, there was no immediate comment from the Israeli side.
Meanwhile, Trump had already hinted at a possible ceasefire in the Gaza war a few days ago.
The US president is reportedly set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next week, with the Gaza war at the top of the agenda.
He maintained on Tuesday that he expects an agreement to be reached next week.
DAILY POST reports that the US has been working for weeks to gain support for a plan involving an initial 60-day ceasefire.
