President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel had “agreed to the necessary conditions” to finalize a ceasefire in Gaza, though it was not immediately clear whether Hamas would accept the terms. Two administration officials said Hamas still had to agree to the deal. In a post on Truth social, Trump said the Qataris and the Egyptians would deliver it. “My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza,” Trump wrote. “Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” CNN reported earlier that Qatari officials had submitted on Tuesday a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire to both Hamas and Israel to halt the fighting in Gaza, which is backed by the Trump administration, according to a source familiar with the matter. The proposal was finalized after months of behind-the-scenes efforts led by President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, the source said. It was submitted on the same day that Israel’s Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer visited Washington for meetings with top Trump administration officials. This is a breaking story and will be updated.
