Donald Trump says the next 24 hours will determine whether Hamas will accept the ceasefire proposal. Israel has already agreed to a 60-day ceasefire.
Hamas Gaza Ceasefire: Former US President Donald Trump made a significant statement on Friday, indicating that it would become clear within the next 24 hours whether Hamas has accepted the ceasefire proposal. He mentioned that Israel had already expressed its agreement on the proposal. This proposal was developed on the initiative of the United States, which includes a 60-day ceasefire.
Green light from Israel
Trump stated that Israel has accepted all the necessary conditions for a 60-day ceasefire. Now, the response from Hamas is awaited. Trump made this statement when asked if Hamas had agreed to the proposal. He said, "We'll see what happens. We'll know everything in the next 24 hours."
Hamas's Condition: Guarantee of a Permanent Ceasefire
A source close to Hamas revealed that the organization wants the new US proposal to guarantee a complete cessation of Israeli attacks in Gaza. Meanwhile, two senior Israeli officials stated that negotiations are still ongoing on some parts of the proposal.
The Recent War Started in October 2023
The war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza began in October 2023. Hamas attacked Israel, resulting in approximately 1,200 deaths and the capture of about 250 hostages. Following this, Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Gaza.
Thousands Killed in Israeli Attacks
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 56,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military operations to date. In addition, millions of people have been displaced. Due to the war, famine and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza have become very severe. Genocide charges have been filed in the International Court of Justice regarding this matter, while an investigation into war crimes is underway in the International Criminal Court. Israel has rejected all these allegations.
Trump's Plan for US Control over Gaza
Earlier this year, Trump put forward a controversial proposal that included temporary US control over Gaza. This proposal was bly criticized by the United Nations, human rights organizations, and Palestinians. Experts have called it against international law and human rights.
