Overview

  • President Trump said Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire tied to the release of hostages.
  • Qatar and Egypt will carry the final proposal to Hamas after U.S.-Israeli talks to finalize the terms.
  • Neither Israel nor Hamas has formally ratified the agreement, leaving the deal in limbo just days before high-level meetings.
  • Ongoing Israeli strikes and deadly clashes at food distribution sites have exacerbated Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, with hospitals overwhelmed and civilians at risk.
  • Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to visit Washington on July 7 to meet with Trump and discuss the truce framework, hostage releases and regional security.
