US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) said that Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalise a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. Trump cautioned Hamas against rejecting the ceasefire deal, warning that “it will not get better — it will only get worse.”

Qatar and Egypt, who Trump said “worked very hard to help bring Peace”, will deliver the final proposal. Trump also stated that negotiations to end the war would continue during the proposed ceasefire period.

Israeli airstrikes continued across Gaza. On Monday, Israel launched at least 50 aerial strikes, with a significant focus on eastern Gaza City, following forced evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli military, according to Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, Hamas suggested on Wednesday that it was open to a ceasefire agreement with Israel, but stopped short of accepting a US-backed proposal.
