00:00Israel has agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Hamas following a proposal supported by former
00:05US President Donald Trump in a move that signals a cautious step toward de-escalation after weeks
00:12of intensifying conflict in the region. The ceasefire, aimed at halting hostilities between
00:19Israeli forces and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, is expected to create space for humanitarian
00:25relief, prisoner exchanges and renewed diplomatic efforts. According to sources familiar with the
00:32negotiations, Trump played a behind-the-scenes role in promoting the agreement, marking his most
00:39significant re-engagement in Middle East diplomacy since leaving office. Israeli officials confirmed
00:46on Thursday that the government had accepted the proposal, describing it as a measured response to
00:52prevent further civilian suffering. Under the deal, both sides are expected to pause military
00:58operations, allow humanitarian aid to flow into affected areas and release a limited number of
01:04detainees. While Hamas has not yet released an official statement, initial reports suggest that
01:10the group is leaning toward accepting the ceasefire terms, pending final approval from its leadership.
01:16This marks a rare moment of potential calm amid what has been one of the deadliest flare-ups in recent
01:24years. Over the past month, the region has witnessed a sharp escalation in violence, including airstrikes,
01:31rocket attacks and civilian casualties on both sides. The involvement of Trump, whose administration
01:38previously brokered the Abraham Accords, normalising ties between Israel and several Arab nations,
01:44has drawn both praise and criticism. Supporters view his continued engagement as a stabilising force,
01:52while critics question the long-term effectiveness of temporary ceasefires without broader political
01:58solutions. International observers and humanitarian organisations have welcomed the ceasefire, urging all
02:06parties to use the pause to pursue meaningful dialogue and reduce further suffering. As diplomatic channels
02:13cautiously reopen, the world will be watching to see whether this fragile truce holds, and whether it can serve as a
02:20foundation for a more lasting peace in the region.
