Hamas said okay with US guarantee on talks to end Gaza war, as ceasefire momentum grows 60-day halt would reportedly be bookended with release of 10 living hostages, along with 18 deceased ...

Gideon Saar, the Israeli foreign minister, cited “positive signs” in the long-moribund cease-fire talks to end the war in Gaza and free the hostages held there.

But Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and derailing the talks, saying it did so to put pressure on Hamas to release the remaining hostages.

Israel is open to accepting a 60-day ceasefire, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday, urging Hamas to sign the deal that he said would pave the way for a potential “end” to the war in Gaza.

The United States, Qatar, and Egypt have acted as mediators throughout the war, which began after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.

Hamas’s response to the offer included a demand that would make it more difficult for Israel to resume fighting if talks on a permanent ceasefire were not completed by the end of the 60-day truce.
