U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he had put forward a new proposal to end the war in Gaza, stating that Israel had accepted his terms. He went on to warn Hamas to accept his conditions, noting that he had informed the group about the “consequences” of rejecting the offer. His proposal stipulates that all captives would be released within 48 hours of signing the agreement, along with Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and detainees from Gaza. The ceasefire would take immediate effect for 60 days or until negotiations conclude, with President Trump guaranteeing good-faith talks. Negotiations will address key issues, including the definition of Hamas, disarmament, the formation of a new government, Israeli withdrawal tied to that formation or successful talks, and amnesty for Hamas members. The agreement would also allow the unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza.

Hamas released a statement late Sunday confirming that it “had received some ideas from the American side” to reach a ceasefire agreement, adding that it was ready to sit down at the negotiating table “to discuss the release of all prisoners in exchange for a clear declaration to end the war” and a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

However, hopes for a swift resolution have been overshadowed by the recent Israeli attack on Doha, which has heightened tensions and cast doubt on the prospects for lasting peace. The incident drew international condemnation and raised concerns about the sincerity of both sides’ commitment to the proposed ceasefire, with many observers warning that such actions could jeopardize ongoing diplomatic efforts.
