Gaza ceasefire hopes in days The White House is working to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza in the coming days. The United States expressed such hope after Hamas reached an agreement with US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n
The US media outlet Axios reported this information in a report, citing three sources familiar with the talks.<\/p>\n
The report said that the White House is optimistic that a ceasefire agreement can be reached soon as a result of a new proposal by US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n
A source told the media, “If all parties involved in the ceasefire make some concessions from their positions, we can reach an agreement within a few days.”<\/p>\n
On Wednesday night, Hamas said that it had reached an agreement with Witkoff on a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a general framework for the free entry of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n
A Hamas statement said, “We have reached an agreement with Witkoff on a general framework that will ensure a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza, and the free entry of humanitarian aid.”<\/p>\n
Hamas said the agreement includes “the establishment of a professional committee to manage Gaza affairs after the ceasefire is declared.”<\/p>\n
Hamas also said it would release 10 living Israeli hostages and the remains of several others in exchange for a mutually agreed number of Palestinian prisoners, based on guarantees from the mediators.<\/p>\n
Axios reported that Witkoff met with Trump in the Oval Office after Hamas’ announcement and prepared “a new term sheet” for the president’s approval.<\/p>\n
Steve Witkoff said in this regard, “I am very optimistic about a temporary ceasefire and a long-term solution, as well as a peaceful resolution to the conflict.”<\/p>\n
In recent days, Witkoff has held talks with Hamas leaders in Doha through Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top adviser Ron Dermer, as well as Palestinian-American businessman Bishara Bahbah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
