Trump says Israel agrees to ceasefire conditions in Gaza; no Hamas response yet

Israel has yet to confirm Trump's announcement, which comes days ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to the White House.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel has "agreed to the necessary conditions" to finalize a ceasefire deal in the Israel-Hamas war.
"My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War," Trump said on Truth Social.
"The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal," he added. "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."
