Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel has agreed to a 60-day Gaza ceasefire under proposed conditions and urged Hamas to accept the deal. He called it a chance to end ongoing violence and ease the humanitarian crisis. Trump warned that continued conflict would lead to more suffering and urged both sides to choose peace and stability.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel has agreed to the proposed conditions for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, calling on Hamas to accept the deal to help bring an end to months of intense conflict in the region. His statement comes amid growing international pressure to halt the violence and address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Speaking at a recent public event, Trump said, “Israel has signaled its commitment to a 60-day ceasefire under the proposed terms. Now it’s up to Hamas to do the right thing. Peace is possible, but only if both sides take the necessary steps.”
The proposed ceasefire is believed to include a temporary halt to military operations from both sides, the opening of humanitarian corridors for aid delivery, and the beginning of negotiations aimed at a longer-term political resolution. Trump did not provide specific details of the terms, but emphasized the urgent need for cooperation to prevent further bloodshed.
Trump, who has remained active in political and diplomatic discussions even after his presidency, positioned the ceasefire proposal as a chance for “both sides to step back from the brink” and work toward a sustainable peace. He warned that continued resistance from Hamas could result in “more suffering and instability,” both for Gaza residents and the broader Middle East.
The conflict has already caused widespread destruction in Gaza, with thousands of civilian casualties and a growing humanitarian emergency. Aid organizations have been calling for an immediate ceasefire to allow food, water, and medical supplies to reach the population.
As of now, Hamas has not officially responded to Trump’s statement or to the proposed ceasefire terms. Diplomatic observers are closely watching the group’s next move, which could determine whether this new effort toward peace gains momentum or falters like previous attempts.
Trump ended his statement with a strong appeal: “This is a moment for leadership, not violence. The world is watching.”
