The U.S. President said Israel “agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize” a 60-day ceasefire, “during which time we will work with all parties to end the war.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iran-backed Hamas militants on Tuesday to agree to what he called a "final proposal" for a 60-day ceasefire with Israel in Gaza that will be delivered by mediating officials from Qatar and Egypt.

In a social media post, the president said the United States and Israel were finalizing a proposal to Hamas. The announcement comes ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week.
