Hamas rejected Trump's offer of a two-month ceasefire and demands an end to the war.
The US President stated that a ceasefire agreement could be reached as early as next week
Hamas has rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and insists on an agreement that will end the war. This was reported by Associated Press.
Hamas representative Taha al-Nunu stated that the group is "ready to accept any initiative, but one that clearly leads to a complete cessation of the war."
The day before, Trump stated that Israel had agreed to the terms of a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the offer before the situation "worsens." The US president also said that the deal could be reached as early as next week.
According to an unnamed Egyptian official, a Hamas delegation is to meet with Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on July 2 to discuss a proposal for a full ceasefire.
- On June 11, Trump urged Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza and not to threaten Iran. As CNN noted, the US president and the Israeli prime minister are increasingly at odds over the war in Gaza, which has been ongoing for over 20 months.
- In late June, it was reported that Trump and Netanyahu had agreed to end the war in the Gaza Strip within two weeks.
