President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel had “agreed to the necessary conditions” to finalize a ceasefire in Gaza, though it was not immediately clear whether Hamas would accept the terms.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Israel has agreed to the terms of a proposed 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and warned Hamas to accept the deal before the situation deteriorates further. The announcement came just days before Trump is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday for high-stakes talks aimed at ending the ongoing conflict.

Word from U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel has agreed to the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza raised hopes on Wednesday in the enclave, where health officials said at least 20 people had been killed in Israeli attacks.
