Trump announces Israel's agreement to 60-day Gaza ceasefire terms

Israel has not confirmed it has agreed to the conditions of a deal, and there was no immediate comment from Hamas.

US President Donald Trump stated that Israel has agreed to the 'necessary conditions' for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. Trump mentioned that the US would work with all parties to end the war during the proposed ceasefire. However, details of the ceasefire were not provided.

Trump's announcement precedes a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he expressed confidence in reaching a deal to end hostilities in Gaza.

Israel's ambassador to the UN affirmed that Israel is prepared for a ceasefire, while Hamas continues to play hardball in negotiations.

Trump's remarks come amidst escalating tensions in Gaza, with Israel ordering evacuations and reports of civilian casualties.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza following an attack by Hamas, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.

Efforts to broker a new ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza have faced challenges, with Israel insisting on dismantling Hamas for a permanent resolution.

Previous ceasefire attempts have faltered, with Israel citing Hamas's readiness for terror attacks as a reason for military action.
