DONALD TRUMP has told Israel to “immediately” stop bombing Gaza after Hamas agreed to release all of the remaining Israeli hostages as part of the US President’s plan to end the conflict in Gaza. 

Writing on Truth Social in the last few minutes, Trump said that based on the statement released by Hamas, he believes the group are “ready for a lasting PEACE”. 

“Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out.

“This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump said in full. 

Hamas made a statement this evening saying that it agrees to the release of prisoners “both living and dead” according to the exchange arrangement laid out in Trump’s plan. 

However, Hamas seems to be suggesting that it wants further negotiations on issues regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the rights of Palestinian people. 

In its statement Hamas said that it would exchange hostages and hand over control of Gaza to a “Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing”. 

“As for the other issues included in President Trump’s proposal concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, this is tied to a collective national position and in accordance with the relevant international laws and resolutions, to be discussed within a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, in which Hamas will be included and will contribute with full responsibility,” Hamas further said.

Trump earlier today said that Hamas had until 10 pm Sunday (our time) to accept his plan for peace, which includes plans for the “redevelopment” of Gaza, or else they would face “all hell”. 

The plan proposes an immediate end to fighting in Gaza and the release of all Israeli hostages in return for the return of hundreds of detained Palestinians. 

In Hamas’s statement it said that it “renews its agreement to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats), based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support.”

However, the group further said that parts of the agreement that impact the right of Palestinian peoples’ will be discussed within a “national framework”.
