“Israel has agreed with the necessary conditions for the finalization of the 60 -day cessation of PYROS, during which we will work with all parties to end the war,” Trump said on social media.

Agreements not complied with
The two sides have shown little signs of readiness, to date, to retreat from their established positions.
Hamas has stated that she is willing to release the remaining hostages in Gaza under any agreement to end the war, while Israel says it can only end if Hamas is disarmed and dissolved.
In March, a previous ceasefire agreement collapsed when Israel launched new attacks on Gaza. The Israeli army described the action as “Preventive blows … Based on Hamas’ readiness to carry out terrorist attacks, gather forces and re -equipment.”
The previous ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas – which began on January 19 – was designed for three stages, but did not exceed the first stage.
The second stage included the establishment of a permanent ceasefire, the return of the remaining living hostages to Gaza in exchange for the Palestinians held in Israel and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
