Hamas Ready for Ceasefire Talks Amid Trump’s Mediation Efforts
Hamas Ready for Ceasefire Talks: Hamas agrees to U.S.-backed ceasefire talks in Gaza-Israel war. Trump’s diplomatic push gains traction—60-day truce proposal on the table. Ceasefire in Gaza-Israel may happen soon, Hamas is ready for talks. The war between Israel and Hamas, which has been going on for almost 21 months, is now at a new turn. Hamas said Friday it was ready to negotiate a ceasefire proposal backed by the United States. The Hamas statement comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the United States on Monday. Let me tell you, US President Donald Trump is constantly trying to end the war.
Hamas has made the decision after talks with other Palestinian factions that it wants to negotiate a ceasefire proposal. Islamic Jihad, a Hamas-affiliated organization, has also backed the talks, but has stipulated that Israel guarantees that attacks will not resume after the hostages are released.
The United States, Qatar, and Egypt mediated the last two ceasefires. This temporarily stopped the fighting and, in turn, led to an exchange of hostages and prisoners.
The Israeli army carried out attacks in several areas of Gaza. These include areas such as Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Rafa. According to Mohamed al-Mughayyir, the head of civil security in Gaza, these attacks killed at least 52 persons on Friday.
People waiting near U.S. aid centers in areas such as Rafah and the Wadi Gaza Bridge were also shot at, according to the report. The United Nations has warned that Gaza is on the brink of starvation and the situation is getting worse.
The U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal states that Hamas will release close to half of the surviving Israeli hostages during the 60-day cease-fire and that Israel will release Palestinian prisoners in return. There are currently 49 hostages in Gaza, 27 of whom have been confirmed dead by the Israeli military.
