Israel has agreed on “the necessary conditions” for a 60‑day ceasefire
President Trump announced on July 1, 2025 that, following productive talks between his envoys and Israeli officials, “Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War.” He added that Qatar and Egypt are expected to deliver the formal proposal to Hamas .
🔊 Trump’s message to Hamas:
Trump stressed this is “his best and final offer,” warning Hamas that “it will not get better – IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” and calling on the group to accept it for the sake of broader Middle East stability .
🤝 Next steps and diplomatic context:
Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer is in Washington to coordinate with U.S. officials ahead of Israeli PM Netanyahu’s planned visit to the White House .
The deal remains fragile: it hinges on Hamas accepting terms, and it’s not yet clear whether those terms include a formal end to the war or just a temporary pause .
🌐 Humanitarian and regional backdrop:
The ceasefire aims to open a window for increased aid delivery and progress on hostage release talks. Meanwhile, reports indicate growing humanitarian crises in Gaza — including dangerous conditions at aid distribution sites and ongoing airstrikes — plus missile fire from Yemen’s Houthi rebels in solidarity, which adds to the regional pressure for a pause .
What to watch next
- Will Hamas formally respond? So far, there’s no public confirmation of acceptance or rejection.
- Timing of Netanyahu’s White House visit — expected soon; discussions may shed more light on alignment with U.S. objectives.
- Terms of the proposal — Is this strictly a temporary pause, or could it signal a broader plan toward concluding the conflict?
This is breaking news — I’ll keep an eye out for Hamas’s reply and any new developments.
