Israel has accepted the conditions for a 60-day ceasefire in the ongoing Gaza conflict, and now the decision rests with Hamas, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday, July 1.
Trump shared the update on his Truth Social platform, adding that the United States will spend the two-month period working with all parties to help bring an end to the war.
According to Trump, mediators from Qatar and Egypt—both key players in ongoing peace negotiations—will present the latest proposal to Hamas.
“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better – IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump warned in his post.
He also noted that U.S. officials held a lengthy and productive meeting with Israeli representatives on Tuesday to discuss the Gaza situation. However, Israeli authorities have not released an official response.
Trump had previously hinted at a potential ceasefire in the conflict. He is expected to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next week, with Gaza likely to top the agenda.
On Tuesday, Trump again expressed confidence that a deal will be reached in the coming week. The United States has been pushing for a 60-day ceasefire as part of broader diplomatic efforts to end the war.
