Israel reinforced in his offensive in Gaza and prepared for further interviews with Hamas after US President Donald Trump described the offer of a militant group to release all hostages as the main breakthrough in his offer to end the two -year war.
Israel was preparing for “Immediately implemented the first phase of Trump’s plan for immediate release of all hostages,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu office on Saturday.
However, the details of what it would mean were rare. It was not clear whether Israel would give Trump’s call – made on the social media, soon after Hamas published a statement late on Friday – to “stop the bombing of gaza immediately so that we could get hostages safely and quickly!”
Israel will start negotiations with Hamas on Sunday, an Israeli official said with this matter. This is after the Palestinian militant group said it wanted to discuss parts of the 20 -point Trump plan to end the conflict that destroyed Gaza and destabilized the wider Middle East.
The official did not specify where the conversations would take place, or if the release of the hostages was conditioned by their result. Axios announced that the American strange envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the father -in -law Trump, travel to Egypt on Saturday.
“I believe they are ready for permanent peace,” Trump said in a social media post after Hamas responded to his administration plan announced on Monday.
Israeli assets jumped into a peace view in Gaza. Shekel was the best currency between the basket last week about 30 main units monitored by Bloomberg and since 2022 it increased by 1.9% to the strongest level.
There are still a lot of uncertainty. Trump’s call for an immediate ceasefire may be politically complicated for Netanyahu, given that some of its far -right cabinet members will be vigilant about further interviews with Hamas. Group-has marked the US terrorist organization, the European Union and others-it did not agree with some of the key provisions in Trump’s plan, including that it disarmed and has nothing to do with the post-war administration in Gaza.
Iran supported Hamas launched the war by attacking Israel from Gaza 7 October 2023, killing 1200 people and kidnapping another 250. Of these 48, Gaza remains and Israel believes that around 20 is still alive.
Hamas said that handing along the hostages would be “dependent on the necessary field conditions for exchanging”.
The Israeli army, which controls around 80% of the Gaza zone, assumed a defensive posture on Saturday, according to an Israeli official who asked not to be identified on behalf of the discussing private affairs.
Palestinian witnesses described the fighting as largely subdued. Yet shelling continued in Gaza, de facto the capital of the enclave, which is the subject of a long Israeli procedure.
More than 66,000 gazans were killed in the war, according to the Ministry of Health Hamas in the territory. The conflict destroyed Gaza and triggered the humanitarian crisis, with the body supported by the UN declared famine in part of the enclave. Israel has lost more than 450 soldiers in a Gaza fight.
“We will conclude negotiations on all matters related to the US plan, Senior official Hamas Musa Abu Marzouk said on Saturday on AL JAVEERA based in Qatar when she asked if the group was ready to disarm and accept exile of its leaders and fighters.” your weapons to this state. ”
Israel stated hard that it did not allow an independent Palestine and claims that this would be a security threat to the Jewish state.
Abu Marzouk said that Trump’s plan – especially the provisions of the future administration in Gaza – need to be addressed by the IS with other Palestinian fractions.
“It may take months” for everything to finish, he said.
Trump said there were “details to be developed”, suggesting that he was willing to give Hamas some freedom. Netanyahu previously insisted that the Israeli offensive would continue during any negotiations.
For Trump, a ceasefire in the coming days and liberating hostages could strengthen his campaign to win the Nobel Peace Prize, while another winner was announced on October 10. Bloomberg announced that the presidential public and closed doors have been pushing the award in recent days.
In his answer, Hamas said on Friday that parts of Trump’s plan “require a unified national attitude and must be solved on the basis of the relevant international laws and resolutions”.
She also did not mention the proposal for the “Council of Peace” – chairman of Trump and including other world leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair – to oversee and oversee the temporary, technocratic administrative committee composed of Palestinians.
Arab nations put strong pressure on Hamas to agree to Trump’s proposal. Egypt and Qatar expressed the approval of Hamas’s statement with Qatar, who served as an intermediary in previous rounds of interviews and said that Trump’s pressure could lead to “rapid results that would end the bloodshed of the Palestinians”.
“Now the ball is back at Netanyahu’s court,” said Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestinian Israeli program at the Arab Center in Washington. “They wanted the White House to be considered that it was, or it is. And that suggests that Trump is not ready to leave it.”
