U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas could be possible as early as next week, following what he described as a positive response from the Palestinian group to a U.S.-backed proposal, RKS News reports.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump expressed optimism, noting that Hamas had submitted its response to Egyptian and Qatari mediators and is ready to begin negotiations on implementing the ceasefire.
According to Hamas, a sustainable ceasefire requires guarantees for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces. Trump also promised that the initial 60-day ceasefire could be extended if necessary.
