Will Trump's ceasefire plan hold?

Asked 4 hours ago

Answer

Trump's ceasefire plan has sparked cautious optimism but remains fragile. Israeli strikes continue, and a full ceasefire is not yet in place. The main obstacle is Hamas's refusal to disarm, a key Israeli demand. Negotiations are ongoing in Egypt, and the outcome depends on whether Hamas accepts all terms.
