US President Donald Trump has urged Hamas to accept a proposed 60-day ceasefire with Israel in Gaza, stating that Israel has agreed to the conditions.

The proposal includes a call for the release of half the hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the remains of other Palestinians.

Trump is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on July 7, expressing hope for a ceasefire and hostage agreement next week.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I guess that settling the war in Gaza was part of a Grand Deal in the region (engineered by the Peacemaker in Chief, President Trump), along with taking out the Iranian nuclear program, lifting sanctions on Syria and expanding the Abraham Accords.

Hamas and Israel to Trump:

Speedy? Oh, really? Like your much vaunted American system with months of rancor to pass one bill and months and months of district judges blocking every move you make as President?
Not to mention letting the rap mogul criminals loose and letting the killers be in total control of their sentencing.

We’ll stick with war.

I am tired of our President sticking his nose where it does not belong. It will be over when there are no more Hamas terrorist. Israel needs to keep going after Iran’s leaders as well and should not stop until the Crown Prince is able to return and fair election takes place.

“Israel needs to keep going after Iran’s leaders as well and should not stop until the Crown Prince is able to return and fair election takes place.”

I am sure that the Sunni Arab Governments in the region would delight in that outcome as well.

Maybe that was not included in the deal, and the Arabs will need to pony up separately to pay for that outcome. Maybe screw over Russia on oil, or shut out China.

Possibly, it is a future stage of of one Grand Deal.
