 "Trump revives proposal for Israel-Hamas ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages: Report")
After brokering a ceasefire in the Israel-Iran war, US President Donald Trump has revived talks to end the war in the Gaza Strip, according to a report.
The Israel-Hamas deal reached in January collapsed in March and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel ordered the resumption of attacks. Several thousands of Palestinian casualties have been reported since the resumption of attacks, many of them as they gathered to receive humanitarian aid.
The Jerusalem Post has reported that Trump has revived talks for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and the release of remaining hostages taken during the October 7 terrorist attack. A US source said that the administration was “optimistic” about reaching the deal.
Trump came to power with the promise of ending wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Instead, he entered a new war with Iran. Moreover, instead of ending the war in Gaza, he has become party to the conflict by announcing the takeover of Gaza and conversion of the strip into a resort town after the expulsion of all Palestinians. The declaration, which critics say amounts to ethnic cleansing, would effectively killed the two-state solution.
75% work done for Israel-Hamas deal: Source
A source told The Post that 75 per cent of issues have been resolved in recent weeks.
“The remaining 25 per cent includes key matters such as the humanitarian situation, the conclusion of the war itself, and the guarantees Israel is demanding to prevent Hamas from rearming,” the source said.

One option being discussed is the exile of Hamas leaders from Gaza once a ceasefire is reached, according to the newspaper.
Hamas has previously rejected the idea.
Around the same time that the report emerged, it was reported that Netanyahu held a meeting with senior ministers and defence officials on Sunday to discuss the war in Gaza. The Post reported that that one of the questions discussed in the meeting was whether Israel should send a delegation for indirect talks with Hamas either to Qatar or Egypt.
