Donald Trump Announces Israel’s Acceptance of 60-Day Gaza Ceasefire Deal

Former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that Israel has agreed to a proposed 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, marking a significant development in efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.

Trump posted on Truth Social, saying:

“Israel has agreed to the terms required to finalize the 60-Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will be working with all parties to put an end to the war.”

The former president expressed hope that Egypt and Qatar—key regional mediators—can successfully deliver the final agreement. The ceasefire aims to temporarily halt hostilities, allowing humanitarian aid, negotiations, and broader diplomatic efforts to move forward.

International Reactions and Next Steps

Diplomatic sources suggest that the U.S. and regional partners are intensifying their efforts to secure a sustainable peace plan. Egypt and Qatar have historically played important roles in mediating between Israel and Hamas.

This development comes amid ongoing international pressure to reduce civilian casualties and restore stability to the Gaza Strip.

What This Means for the Region

If finalized, the 60-day truce could mark the beginning of a broader peace roadmap. However, political challenges remain on all sides.
