Trump Announces Gaza Ceasefire Proposal on Truth Social
In a post that took many by surprise, former US President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that Israel has agreed to the terms of a 60-day Gaza ceasefire. According to Trump, the deal is now in the hands of Hamas, and if they don’t take it, the situation will only get worse.
“This is the best deal they’ll get. If Hamas walks away, things will only get more difficult,” Trump said.
The Gaza ceasefire talks are being mediated by Qatar and Egypt, who will deliver the final proposal to Hamas leadership. The announcement comes at a critical moment, as tensions in the region remain at a breaking point
🇮🇱 Israel Backs the Gaza Ceasefire — But With Conditions
Speaking to BBC News, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon said that Israel is “absolutely ready” for a temporary Gaza ceasefire, but also hinted that time is running out.
“Hamas is playing hardball. If they don’t come to the table, we will have no choice but to apply more pressure,” Danon added.
Israel has made it clear: any ceasefire must include the release of hostages still being held in Gaza. According to reports, around 50 Israeli hostages remain in captivity, with nearly 20 believed to be alive.
What’s Inside the Proposed Gaza Ceasefire Deal?
While full terms haven’t been made public, here’s what’s believed to be included in the 60-day Gaza ceasefire:
- A full halt to fighting for two months
- Gradual release of Israeli hostages
- Exchange of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails
- Increased humanitarian aid access into Gaza
- Oversight by Qatar and Egypt to monitor compliance
According to Al Jazeera (DoFollow link), both mediators have been in direct contact with Hamas leadership and are pushing for a swift resolution
Past Gaza Ceasefire Deals Have Failed — Will This One Stick?
Earlier this year, in January 2024, a ceasefire was agreed upon. It had three stages: temporary truce, permanent ceasefire, and Israeli withdrawal. But the deal collapsed by March after both sides accused each other of violations.
Israel claimed Hamas was preparing for new attacks, while Hamas said Israel failed to meet its commitments — especially regarding prisoner release.
It’s unclear whether this new Gaza ceasefire offer is any different.
Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza Worsens by the Hour
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is beyond critical. Over 56,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Just this week, 20 civilians were killed in an airstrike on a beachfront café.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has said most hospitals in Gaza are either destroyed or non-functional. They report:
- Medicine is running out
- Surgeons are working without anesthesia
- Injured people are sleeping on hospital floors

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) Faces Global Criticism
A US-Israel-backed food aid group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is facing backlash. More than 170 NGOs, including Oxfam and Save the Children, have called for it to be dismantled.
Their concerns include:
- Lack of transparency in aid delivery
- Civilians being shot at while collecting food
- Interference by military forces at GHF sites
Israel denies these accusations, saying GHF is critical to bypassing Hamas control over aid supplies.

🧱 Where Do Hamas and Israel Stand on the Gaza Ceasefire?
Despite Trump’s optimism, neither side has shifted its core position:
Hamas wants:
- A permanent ceasefire
- Full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza
- Massive prisoner releases
Israel wants:
- All hostages returned first
- Hamas to be fully dismantled and disarmed
Until there is mutual compromise, it’s unlikely this ceasefire will become permanent.
Netanyahu to Meet Trump in Washington
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit the U.S. next week for high-level talks with Trump. This will be his third trip to the US in six months, signaling the importance of the situation.
Trump said:
“I believe Netanyahu wants to end the war. I think we’ll have a deal by next week.”
The two leaders will also meet with U.S. officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and Mideast Envoy Steve Witkoff.
Global Reactions to the Gaza Ceasefire Plan
The international community has shown mixed reactions:
- Europe is cautiously optimistic, but remains skeptical after previous failed deals.
- Human rights organizations are calling for independent monitoring if the ceasefire goes ahead.
- On social media, many Americans are asking whether the U.S. should be more actively involved or step back entirely.
Even within Israel, public opinion is split on whether negotiating with Hamas is the right move.
