US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in the Gaza Strip to give an opportunity to the release of hostages and the 20-formula peace agreement. He made this announcement on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump’s pressure on Hamas
Trump warned Hamas to take a quick decision. He said in a post on Truth social, ‘Hamas will have to take quick steps, otherwise all the bets will be useless. I will not tolerate the delay … Let’s complete it as soon as possible. ‘
Earlier, on Friday, Trump had given Hamas a deadline to accept the 20-point peace plan by the eastern time (2200 GMT) at 6 pm on Sunday, warning that ‘otherwise against Hamas, as never seen before, hell would break.’

What did Netanyahu say?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hoped that he will announce the release of all the hostages from Gaza in the coming days. Netanyahu’s statement came when indirect talks with Hamas continued in Egypt on Monday.
Netanyahu said in a brief statement that he has sent a delegation to Egypt to ‘finalize technical details’ and his goal is to ‘limit these dialogues to a time-limit of a few days’.
Israel agreed to ‘initial return line’
In a separate post on Saturday, Trump reported that after a long conversation, Israel has agreed to a ‘initial return line’, shown to Hamas.
He wrote, “When Hamas confirms this, the ceasefire will immediately become effective, the blessings and prisoners will start exchange, and we will create situations for the next stage of return, which will take us close to the end of this 3,000-year-old destruction.”

The main conditions of the 20-Cutriya Peace Scheme
Hamas has a theoretically accepted the 20-sutrious peace plan, after which the international community has widely welcomed it and has shown the readiness to start arbitration talks. The main conditions of this comprehensive plan are as follows, if the ceasefire is effective, Israel will stop military action and return to the agreed lines; Under the exchange of hostages, Hamas will have to release all hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours of publicly accepting the agreement by Israel, in return for which Israel will release prisoners sentenced to 250 life imprisonment and 1,700 gazellers. In addition, the scheme has an outline of phased Israeli withdrawal, immersion, reconstruction and international monitoring of Gaza, in which Hamas will be excluded from the governance structure, although the unarmed unarmed Hamas members committed to peaceful co-existence will be forgiven and will be given safe routes to those willing to leave Gaza.
