Hamas has responded "in a positive spirit" to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal proposed by President Donald Trump, opening the door for negotiations to end the 21-month-long Gaza war.
The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire, return of hostages, and negotiations on long-term peace.
Trump, optimistic about a breakthrough, warned Israeli PM Netanyahu to act swiftly.
However, differences remain, including troop withdrawal timelines and humanitarian access.
Overnight, Israeli strikes killed at least 138 Palestinians, including children in Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, hostages’ families marked U.S. Independence Day in Tel Aviv by calling on Trump to “make the deal.” The situation remains fragile as both sides weigh the terms. #gaza #trump #hamas #israel #ceasefire #netanyahu #hostages #palestine #khanYounis #deal #middleeast #usforeignpolicy #rafah #aid #gazawar #biden #uspolitics #gazaceasefire #humanrights #gazahumanitariancrisis ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
