Israel facilitates Gaza strikes like Trump Hamas offering
Israel started again in its offensive in Gaza and prepared for further discussions with Hamas, after US President Donald Trump was the militant group’s offer to release all the Goldest as a big breakthrough, to end the two years. Israel was preparing to “implement the first phase of Trump’s plan for the immediate release of all hostages,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Saturday. The details of what it would entail were still rare. It was unclear whether Israel would consider the call of Trump – made on social media, shortly after Hamas issued a statement late Friday – for its powers to “immediately stop the bomb attack on Gaza so that we could take out the hostages safely and quickly!” Israel will start with Hamas mediated negotiations with Hamas on Sunday, an Israeli official who is familiar with the case said. This is after the Palestinian militant group said it wanted to discuss parts of Trump’s 20-point plan to end a conflict that destroyed Gaza and destabilized the broader Middle East. The official did not determine where the discussions would take place, or if the release of hostages was dependent on their result. Axios reported that American envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son -in -law, would travel to Egypt on Saturday. “I believe they are ready for a lasting peace,” Trump said in a social media post after Hamas responded to his administration’s plan announced on Monday. Israeli assets jumped on the prospect of peace in Gaza. The Sikel was the best currency under a basket of about 30 large units detected by Bloomberg last week, with 1.9% against the dollar to its strongest level since 2022. There is still a lot of uncertainty. Trump’s call for an immediate ceasefire could be politically difficult for Netanyahu, as some of his right -wing cabinet members will be careful about further discussions with Hamas. The group-who has appointed a terrorist organization by the US, the European Union and others-has not agreed to an important provisions in Trump’s plan, including that it has disarmed and has nothing to do with the post-war management in Gaza. Hamas supported by Iran caused war by attacking Israel from Gaza on October 7, 2023, and killing 1,200 people and kidnapping another 250. Of the 48, Gaza and Israel believe about 20 are still alive. Hamas said the handing over of hostages would “depend on the necessary field conditions for the execution of the exchange.” Israel’s army, which controls about 80% of the Gaza Strip, adopted a defensive attitude by Saturday, according to the Israeli official, who requested not to be identified with the discussion of private matters. Palestinian Witnesses dampened the battles as largely. Yet the abolition continued in Gaza City, the de facto capital of the enclave, which is the focus of a week-long Israeli progress. More than 66,000 Gazane died in the war, according to the Hamas-managed health ministry in the field. The conflict destroyed Gaza and caused a humanitarian crisis, with a body supported by the United Nations, declaring famine in a part of the enclaves. Israel lost more than 450 soldiers in the Gaza fight. “We will negotiate all matters related to the US plan, Hamas senior official Musa Abu Marzouk told the Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV on Saturday when asked if the group was ready to disarm and accept the captivity of its leaders and fighters. “The movement has already said that on the day that a sovereign Palestinian state is created, it will not be an armed movement and that it will hand over its weapons to this state.” Israel sternly said that it would not allow an independent Palestine, arguing that it would pose a security threat to the Jewish state. Abu Marzouk said many of Trump’s plan – mainly clauses on the future management of Gaza – should also be addressed with other Palestinian factions. “It can take months to finalize everything, he said. Trump said there were “details that need to be worked out”, suggesting he was willing to give Hamas a space. Netanyahu previously demanded that Israel’s offensive continue during any negotiations. For Trump, a ceasefire can boost his campaign in the coming days and the liberation of the hostages to win the Nobel Peace Prize, with the next winner announced on October 10. Bloomberg reported that the president’s public and behind closed doors have tightened in recent days. In his reply Friday, Hamas said parts of Trump’s plan “require a united national position and should be addressed on the basis of appropriate international laws and decisions.” There was also no question of a proposal for a ‘Board of Peace’ – chaired by Trump and involved other world leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair – to oversee a Technocratic Transitional Transitional Transitional Committee consisting of Palestinians. Arab countries have put Hamas under pressure to agree to Trump’s proposal. Egypt and Qatar both expressed the approval of the Hamas statement, with Qatar, who served as a mediator in previous rounds of talks, saying Trump’s push could lead to “rapid results that would end the bloodshed of Palestinians.” “Now the ball is back in the Netanyahu court,” said Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestine-Israel program in the Arab Center in Washington. ‘They wanted the White House to treat it as Take-It-Orleave-It. And that indicates that Trump is not ready to leave it. ‘ With the help of Chris Miller, Fiona MacDonald and Shiyin Chen. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
