US EditionGazans Hope Trump Will Force End to Two-Year-Old War

- After the October 7, 2023 attack, the conflict has escalated into a devastating offensive that has killed more than 66,000 people and displaced more than two million Palestinians in Gaza.

- International leaders praised the move, with Qatar's Foreign Ministry welcoming Hamas's `readiness to release all hostages`, while members of Israel's far-right government called acceptance a defeat despite Benjamin Netanyahu's government citing self-defence.
- With the US ultimatum expiring on Sunday, Israel says 48 hostages remain , and `Maybe there is a chance the war ends at October 7,` she added, two years after it began.
