Gaza: Trump Urges Israel to Halt Bombardments, Hamas Willing to Release Hostages
Recent developments in the ongoing Gaza conflict suggest a potential shift in dynamics. In the past 24 to 48 hours, actions from both sides hint at a possible path toward de-escalation. Former US President Donald Trump has publicly called for an immediate cessation of Israeli airstrikes, while Hamas has expressed its readiness to release Israeli hostages, contingent on a ceasefire agreement. This dual movement has injected a new dimension into the already volatile situation.
Trump’s Call for an End to Bombardment
Using his social media platform, Truth Social, Donald Trump directly addressed Israel, urging them to “immediately stop the bombing” of Gaza. He suggested that Hamas’s apparent openness to a peace proposal could provide a foundation for ending the cycle of violence and saving lives. This intervention from Trump comes as diplomatic efforts are reaching a fever pitch, mirroring the intensity of the military hostilities on the ground. Trump has reportedly set a deadline, indicating that if Hamas doesn’t accept a proposed deal by Sunday, Israel would resume its offensive. This diplomatic pressure adds another layer to the already complex situation in Gaza.
