Asked 7 hours ago

Answer

Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have gained momentum with active mediation by U.S. President Donald Trump. The U.S.-backed proposal outlines a 60-day truce, phased release of hostages, and Israeli withdrawals from Gaza. Hamas has responded positively but seeks further talks on prisoner exchanges, humanitarian aid, and assurances that the truce will lead to a permanent end to the conflict. Trump has committed to ensuring the ceasefire continues even if a comprehensive deal is not reached within 60 days. Israel has reportedly accepted the terms, while Hamas is consulting with other Palestinian factions.
