Did Israel stop bombing Gaza because of Trump?

Asked 2 hours ago

Answer

Israel halted its offensive in Gaza City and shifted to a defensive stance following President Trump's call for a cessation of bombing, as part of a U.S.-brokered plan. Trump publicly urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza after Hamas accepted key conditions of his peace proposal. However, Israeli airstrikes continued, and the ceasefire deal remains uncertain.
