Hamas Says It Is Ready for Gaza Hostage Talks After Trump Ultimatum

The group conditions any hostage release on a formal declaration that the war is over.

Overview

  • Hamas announced immediate readiness to negotiate through mediators after receiving U.S.-side proposals for a cease-fire.
  • The group outlined requirements that include a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an independent Palestinian committee to administer the territory, alongside a clear end-of-war declaration.
  • Hamas said it remains in contact with mediators to develop the proposals into a comprehensive agreement that meets its demands.
  • President Trump wrote on Truth Social that Israel accepted his unspecified conditions and he issued a “last warning” to Hamas.
  • The Hamas statement called for a public and explicit commitment by its adversary to honor any agreed terms, and it followed Trump’s warning of consequences if his conditions were rejected.
