Hamas letter to Trump asks for 60-day ceasefire deal to release half of hostages: Fox News
Hamas seeks a personal ceasefire guarantee from Trump to release 24 hostages amid ongoing conflict; about 20 hostages are believed alive, officials say.
- On Monday, Hamas prepared a draft note addressed to President Donald Trump, proposing a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza in return for releasing half of the 48 hostages held since October 7, 2023.
- The request followed stalled negotiations amid intense Israeli Defense Forces ground operations targeting Gaza City, Hamas's last stronghold, with the letter now held by Qatari mediators.
- Trump has called for all hostages to be freed without delay and expressed optimism about their eventual release, noting that approximately 20 remain alive while many others died in tunnels.
- The letter seeks Trump's personal guarantee of the ceasefire and protection from renewed Israeli attacks post-release, highlighting Hamas's recognition of Trump's influence as a dealmaker in the region.
- This development suggests increased U.S. mediation efforts could revive talks, even as thousands of Israelis protest for resolution and fighting continues in Gaza amid uncertainty over hostage survival.
