US President Donald Trump claimed that "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," in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday night.
In the post, Trump confirmed that his "representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza."
"The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal," he added.
"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," he continued.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer informed US envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff that Israel has accepted the proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal and is ready to begin close talks with Hamas to finalize the agreement, a senior Israeli official said on Wednesday.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump had told reporters that he expects to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas by next week when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the US.
Qatar submitted a mediation proposal to both Israel and Hamas based on the Witkoff framework, with minor adjustments and additions, according to a source familiar with the details who spoke to The Jerusalem Post earlier on Tuesday.
