Former President Donald Trump declared victory after Hamas officially responded to his 20-point ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza. The response came nearly five days after Trump put forward his plan, which sought to address major concerns from both sides. The White House moved quickly, sharing the full statement from Hamas on social media. In their haste, officials even mistakenly attributed the response directly to Trump, highlighting the intensity and urgency surrounding the situation.
How Trump’s Move Impacts Netanyahu
Trump’s rapid embrace of the Hamas response has placed significant pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. With Trump publicly celebrating what he called a diplomatic win, Netanyahu now faces tough decisions on how to proceed. The political landscape in Israel may shift as the world watches for Netanyahu’s next move. This development underscores the high stakes and global attention focused on the ongoing conflict and efforts to reach a sustainable ceasefire.
International Reactions to the Proposal
The international community has responded with cautious optimism. Many hope this could mark a turning point in the region, but challenges remain. As Trump continues to claim credit for progress, all eyes are on the next steps from both Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
