Hamas That he is ready to release the hostages according to Trump’s plan to end two -year war. In an interview, Trump said that “we are very close” to reaching an agreement.

Egypt will also host delegations from Israel and Hamas on Monday to discuss the proposed exchange of Israeli hostages with Palestinian prisoners, the country’s foreign ministry said.

The talks take place a month after failure of the ceasefire negotiations, when Israel launched a surprise air raid on Hamas negotiators in Qatar, killing six people who were not within the targets.

Many Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on Saturday, according to local health officials, despite Trump’s demand to stop Israel their bombings after Hamas’ statement.

At least 17 people, mainly women and children, were killed in an Israeli attack at home in Al-Toufa’s city district Gauze On Saturday night, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. Another 20 people are missing under the ruins and dozens were injured, the agency said.

Al-Mawasi, which Israel had previously defined as a “safe zone”, according to the Guardian.

Hamas said in a statement that “the continuation of bombings and massacres of occupation power reveals Netanyahu’s lies about the reduction of military operations against civilians.”

Earlier in the same day, the Israeli Army radio had reported that Gaza operations would be limited to “minimum”, with military forces performing only “defensive” actions, while Trump stated in a post on Truth Social that he was estimated to say that Israel was “stalled”. In the same post, the US president warned that “will not tolerate delay” by Hamas, urging the organization to move forward quickly to an agreement “otherwise everything will be lost”.

Netanyahu, meanwhile, said in a television interview on Saturday: “I hope that in the coming days we will be able to repatriate all our hostages.” He also insisted in his statements that “Hamas will be disarmed … either diplomatically through Trump’s plan or militarily by us.”

Hamas triggered Trump’s favorable reaction on Friday, stating that he accepts some key points of his 20 -point peace proposal, including ending the war, the departure of Israel and the liberation of Israeli hostages and the Palestinian prisoners. However, Hamas left some issues open for further negotiation, as well as unanswered questions, such as whether he would be prepared to disarm, a key request by Israel.

Trump later posted on Saturday: “After negotiations, Israel agreed with the original leaving line, which we have shown and shared with Hamas.” He said that as soon as Hamas agrees, the ceasefire will come into force, “the exchange of hostages and prisoners will begin and we will create the conditions for the next phase of departure.” It didn’t give any more details.

Separately, Trump said in an interview with Axios On Saturday that we are “very close” to an agreement in Gaza and that it is pushing for the finalization of an agreement between Israel and Hamas in the coming days.

The US president referred to a conversation he had with the Israeli prime minister. “I said, ‘Bibie [Νετανιάχου]this is your chance to win. ” He had no problem with that, “Trump told Axios. “There is no choice. With me, you have to be okay. “

Trump also told Axios: “Our plan was greatly accepted – all countries in the world supported it. Benjamin Netanyahu supports it. Hamas made great progress – they want to do it. Now we have to close it. “

He also said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was “very useful” to push Hamas to agree on the release of hostages. “Erdogan helped a lot. He’s a hard guy, but he’s my friend and he was great, “Trump said.

Trump also said he intends to help restore Israel’s global image, which has suffered a hit as state military intervention has killed at least 67,074 Palestinians and injured about 170,000, according to Gaza health authorities, mainly civilians. This number does not include the thousands believed to have been buried under the ruins or those killed by the indirect consequences of the war.

A UN Research Committee, as well as the world’s leading Union of Genocide scholars, concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel rejects this finding, claiming that it has only acted on self -defense.

“Benyamin Netanyahu did it and Israel lost great support from the world. Now I will recover all this support, “Trump said.
