Israel has agreed to the terms of a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, and it is now up to Hamas to accept the plan, according to US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
The United States will work with all sides to end the crisis during the next two months, according to Trump’s Truth Social programme.
Representatives from Qatar and Egypt, both significantly involved in peace talks, will offer the latest plan to Hamas, the Palestinian hardline organisation.
“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this deal, because it will not get better – It will only get worse,” Trump said in his post.
The president stated that US diplomats had a lengthy and productive meeting with Israeli authorities on Tuesday to discuss Gaza.
However, there was no quick response from Israeli officials.
Trump had hinted at a possible ceasefire in the Gaza conflict a few days ago.
He plans to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next week, with the Gaza conflict at the top of the agenda.
Trump maintained on Tuesday that he intends to strike an agreement next week.
The United States has been trying for weeks to win backing for a plan that includes an initial 60-day truce.
