President Donald Trump will personally determine how long Hamas has to accept a new ceasefire proposal for Gaza, according to a recent White House announcement. In a statement on Thursday, officials clarified that Trump will set the timeline for Hamas to respond to the Israel-backed plan, highlighting his active role in the ongoing Middle East negotiations.
Trump’s Authority on the Gaza Plan
The White House did not confirm if Trump would stick to any previously set cutoff date for Hamas. Instead, they emphasized that the president will draw a clear red line, ensuring that the pressure remains on Hamas to make a decision. This move signals a shift in the U.S. approach to brokering peace in the region, giving Trump direct control over the negotiation timeline.
What This Means for Peace Talks
With the U.S. administration taking a firm stance, all eyes are on how Hamas will respond to the proposal and the timeline set by Trump. The decision could significantly influence the dynamics of the ongoing conflict and shape the future of peace in Gaza.
