Trump Hints at Imminent Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Decision Within 24 Hours

Trump Hints at Imminent Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Donald Trump says a decision from Hamas on a U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire may come within 24 hours. Talks also include expanding the Abraham Accords.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that he will likely find out within a day if Hamas, the militant Palestinian organization, accepted the last offer for an Israel-Hamas truce in Gaza. Trump also said he had talked to Saudi Arabia about extending the Abraham Accords, an agreement on the normalization of relations that his administration negotiated between Israel and some Gulf countries during his first term. Trump had said on Tuesday that Israel had accepted the terms necessary to finalize a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, during which both sides would work to end the war.

Trump Hints at Imminent Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Ceasefire in 24 hours?

Asked whether Hamas had agreed to the latest outline of a ceasefire agreement, Trump said, “We’ll see what happens, we’ll know in the next 24 hours.”

The Islamist organization has requested assurances that the new ceasefire proposal supported by the United States will halt Israel’s war in Gaza, according to a source close to Hamas on Thursday. Those specifics are still being worked out, according to two Israeli officials.

According to Gaza officials, Israeli attacks on Thursday killed dozens of Palestinians. The latest battle in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict began in October 2023 when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking nearly 250 hostages.

Gaza Statement

Israel’s ensuing military offensive has killed almost 56,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry. At the same time, the war has caused a starvation crisis, with Gaza’s entire population internally displaced and accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice and war crimes at the International Criminal Court. However, Israel has denied the allegations.

Trump proposed a U.S. occupation of Gaza earlier this year that was condemned by human rights experts, the United Nations, and Palestinians around the world.

Trump commented on the Abraham Accords when asked about a U.S. media report that he had met with Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman at the White House. “That’s one of the things we talked about. I think a lot of people are going to join the Abraham Accords,” Trump said.
