Hamas says it’s ready for a ceasefire but wants a complete end to the war in Gaza
- On Wednesday, representatives from Hamas are scheduled to hold discussions in Cairo with mediators from Egypt and Qatar regarding a U.S.-supported proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.
- The ceasefire proposal comes after nearly 21 months of intense conflict that started on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants launched an attack on southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of around 1,200 individuals and the capture of approximately 250 hostages.
- The deal suggests Israel would scale back its military presence in Gaza and increase humanitarian support, whereas Hamas demands a full Israeli exit and cessation of hostilities, and Israel insists on Hamas's surrender and disarmament.
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel has met the key requirements to confirm a 60-day ceasefire and encouraged Hamas to accept the offer, warning that the situation in Gaza will deteriorate further if they do not, amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.
- The expected talks could advance the ceasefire, but Hamas' demand for war’s end and Israel’s refusal to surrender suggest the conflict may continue despite diplomatic efforts.
