US President Donald Trump has called for Israel to cease its bombing of Gaza in order to facilitate a lasting peace in the region. In a statement referencing recent developments from Hamas, Trump expressed his belief that the group is prepared for a long-term peace agreement. He emphasized the need for Israel to stop its military actions to ensure the safe and swift release of hostages currently held in Gaza, stating that the situation is too dangerous for such efforts at this time.
Trump indicated that discussions are already underway to work out the details of a potential peace agreement. He framed the situation as not solely about Gaza, but as part of a broader pursuit of peace in the Middle East.
This statement follows previous reports regarding Hamas"s willingness to negotiate on issues such as weapons and ceasefire, as well as their response to Trump"s Gaza Peace Plan, which included agreements on prisoner release and governance changes.
