Trump says Israel has agreed to ceasefire conditions in Gaza; no response from Hamas yet
NBC2 days
Trump's diplomatic pressure is finally breaking through after months of failed negotiations. The president's direct engagement and clear messaging to both sides shows real leadership that was missing under the previous administration. Israel recognizing the opportunity for regional peace through expanded Abraham Accords to include Syria and Saudi Arabia, makes this the right time to secure a deal.
Trump's "ceasefire proposal" is rather a non-starter given that it calls for the Hamas leadership to go into exile, while previous ceasefire efforts failed because Israel resumed bombing. Moreover, the timing suspiciously coincides with intensified Israeli military operations, including killing unarmed Palestinian civilians seeking humanitarian aid, suggesting that this is more political theater than real progress toward peace.
