Israel accepts the 60-day ceasefire plan led by Trump for the Gaza conflict

Israel accepted a proposal led by the Trump administration for a 60-day ceasefire, during which the president Donald Trump said that all parties will work to end the war in the Middle East.

“My representatives had a long productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza,” Trump said in an article on Truth Social Tuesday. “Israel accepted the conditions necessary to finalize the 60-day ceasefire, during which we will work with all the parties to end the war.

“The Qatari and the Egyptians, who worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal,” added Trump. “I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this case, because it will not improve – it will only get worse. Thank you for your attention to this question!”

The Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Monday: “Israel is serious in his desire to conclude a hostage and cease-fire agreement in Gaza.”

He underlined the acceptance by Jerusalem of a recent proposal presented by the special envoy Steve Witkoff, but which Hamas rejected because it did not include a solution to a permanent ceasefire and a plan to remove the Israeli Gaza forces.

Witkoff is expected to go to Cairo in the coming days to start preventing new negotiations.

The president prompted Israel to end his conflict in Gaza and to conclude a hostage agreement.

To end the military operations of Israel in Gaza will prove a crucial stage in the expansion of Trump’s ambitions to bring the new nations in the Abraham agreements.

“We have opportunities before us,” said Sa’ar, echoing Jerusalem’s ambitions to conclude an agreement. “We paid the new reality in the Middle East with the blood of our soldiers and citizens.”

“Israel is interested in extending the circle of the Abraham and standardization agreements. We have an interest in adding countries, such as Syria and Lebanon, our neighbors, to the circle of peace and normalization-while protecting the essential and security interests of Israel,” he added.

Before today, Trump had not detailed what nations wanted to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, although nations like Saudi Arabia have clearly indicated that as long as the Palestinians continue to suffer in the conflict of Israel-Hamas, normalization is outside the table.
