The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced in a message from his social network, Truth Socialthat Israel would have accepted a “definitive proposal” to establish a high 60 -day fire in Gaza. Of course, faithful to his negotiating style, which is now the tenant of the White House, has made the announcement accompanied by an ultimatum direct to the Islamist group: “I hope, for the sake of the Middle East, that Hamas accepts this agreement, because the situation will not improve, but will get worse,” he said. Catar and Egypt mediators will give them the details of the agreement in the next few hours.
As detailed by the Republican President, his team in charge of the negotiations has maintained a “long and productive meeting” on Tuesday with high Israeli positions to close the terms of a plan on which, for the moment, they have not transcended the details or the official positions of Israel or Hamas. Although Trump has not given names, several US media point out that these meetings would have attended the US special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff; The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio and the American vice president, JD Vance, the president of the United States has thanked the effort of Qatar and Egypt to achieve peace.
According to diplomatic sources cited by the agency Reutersthe proposal would include A HIGH 60 -day fire in which Hamás would release 10 hostages alive and deliver the bodies of another 15. In return, Israel would stop its military operations in the strip. During that period, both parties would open a negotiation “to end the war”, in the words of Trump himself. However, the positions are still faced: while Israel insists on the total dismantling of the Hamas military apparatus, the Islamist group requires as a condition the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army of the enclave.
Trump’s announcement has reached almost at the same time as the confirmation of Benjamín Netyahu’s return to the White House. The US president explained that he will meet with the Israeli prime minister next Monday at the Oval Office to close the last details of the agreement and has made it clear that he intends to press it to move towards a definitive truce, taking advantage of the “opportunity” that the agreement signed between Iran and Israel has meant for his government a week ago. “We want this to be resolved as soon as possible,” he said in his view to Alligator Alcatraz, The prison for illegal immigrants that has opened in Florida, where he has insisted on the need to free the hostages.
New evacuations and bombings in Gaza
While Donald Trump tries to force a diplomatic agreement, war continues on the ground. The Army of Israel (FDI) has ordered on Tuesday the immediate evacuation of four neighborhoods in the city of Jan Yunis, in the south of the strip, due to an imminent offensive in response to a rocket launch. “The FDI acts forcefully to dismantle terrorist organizations in the area and will attack any point where rockets are launched,” warned the military spokesman, Avichay Adraee. The army has urged the civilian population to move towards the Balah, in the center of the enclave.
Israeli attacks have intensified in the last hours. According to the Civil Defense spokesman Gazatí, Mahmud Basal, more than 60 people have died since the early hours of Tuesday, including 11 children and 13 women. In the Zeitún neighborhood, in the city of Gaza, a bombing has destroyed a six -story residential building with about 40 people inside. There have also been attacks in the vicinity of the Netzarim corridor, where several people have died while waiting for humanitarian aid. Medical teams have also confirmed dead in other areas of the enclave, such as deir Al Balah or East Jan Yunis.
Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched his offensive against Israel and killed some 1,200 people, the conflict has not stopped climbing. The Israeli offensive over Gaza has caused more than 56,500 deaths, according to the Ministry of Health of the Enclave, although independent sources raise that figure above 72,000. The war has displaced the entire Gazatí population, has generated a widespread hunger crisis and has caused complaints before the International Criminal Court for war crimes and possible acts of genocide. Israel denies all accusations.
