Donald Trump said late on Friday night that he had not been briefed on the Hamas response but that \u201cthere could be a Gaza deal next week\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The US president said he was \u201cvery optimistic\u201d that a ceasefire agreement would be reached, before adding \u201cit changes from day to day\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The family of at least one Israeli hostage demanded an immediate cabinet meeting to discuss the Hamas response. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit Washington on Monday, with Trump having made clear his desire for a ceasefire. Trump posted this week on Truth Social that Israel had accepted his proposal, later telling reporters he intended to be \u201cfirm\u201d with Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better \u2014 IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,\u201d the president warned.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military continued its assault on Gaza, killing more than 100 people on Thursday and Friday, local health officials said.<\/p>\n<p>According to drafts of the proposal seen by the Financial Times and confirmed by two people familiar with the negotiations, Trump would \u201cguarantee\u201d that the conflict would be halted for 60 days. During this period more than two dozen living and deceased Israeli hostages held by Hamas would be released over five phases. <\/p>\n<p>Hamas holds at least 20 living hostages, as well as the bodies of 30 more, all captured during its cross-border raid that sparked the war on October 7 2023. <\/p>\n<p>It has demanded assurances that negotiations held during any ceasefire must move towards a complete truce before it can agree to releasing all of the hostages. <\/p>\n<p>Hamas killed some 1,200 people in Israel during the October 7 raid, according to Israeli officials. Since then, Israel\u2019s military offensive has killed more than 60,000 people, most of them women and children, according to local health officials, and devastated the enclave. <\/p>\n<p>During the proposed two-month pause, the Israeli military \u2014 which controls about 65 per cent of the Gaza Strip \u2014 would agree to withdraw from sections of northern and southern Gaza, subject to additional \u201crapid negotiations\u201d. It would also allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave through the UN and other international groups.<\/p>\n<p>As in past ceasefires, Israel would also commit to swapping large numbers of Palestinian prisoners, many held without trial in Israeli military prisons.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Myles McCormick in Washington<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0772acd7-a5e9-47e6-8729-b9c9567f44cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
