In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that during the proposed ceasefire the US would "work with all parties to end the War". He did not provide details on what the ceasefire would entail.

"The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope... that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE," Trump wrote.

Israel has not confirmed it agreed to the conditions of a deal. A Hamas official told the BBC the group is "ready and serious" to reach an agreement if it ends the war.

Hamas is "prepared to agree to any proposal if the requirements for ending the war are clearly met or if they lead to its complete end," said Taher al-Nunu.
