Israel responds positively to Donald Trump's announcement

Israel agrees to implement Trump's ceasefire proposal following Hamas' positive response, with immediate hostage release as first phase of peace plan.

"in light of Hamas' response, Israel is preparing to immediately implement the first phase of Trump's plan - Prime Minister's Office"

Tel Aviv, October 4

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to US President Donald Trump's statement last night, which called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, saying that Hamas' response to his plan shows that it is "ready for peace."

The Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem announced that "in light of Hamas' response, Israel is preparing to immediately implement the first phase of Trump's plan for the immediate release of all hostages."

"We will continue to work in full cooperation with the President and his team to end the war in accordance with the principles established by Israel that align with President Trump's vision," the statement concluded.

Even before Hamas and US President Donald Trump made their statements, the Israeli army had essentially halted its operations in Gaza for several days. A new offensive that was to begin earlier this week had been put on hold. (ANI/TPS)

Trump's involvement might actually bring results where others failed. But we've seen many false dawns in Middle East peace processes. Let's hope this time it's different.

As an Indian, I'm concerned about how this affects regional stability. Our country has good relations with both Israel and Arab nations. Hope this doesn't create more complications for India's foreign policy.

While I welcome any step toward peace, I'm skeptical about Trump's ability to broker lasting solutions. His approach has been too unpredictable in the past. The international community should be more involved.

Good to see military operations paused. The humanitarian situation in Gaza was becoming unbearable. Hope this leads to permanent ceasefire and reconstruction efforts. India should offer medical and humanitarian aid.

Interesting development. Trump's direct approach might be what's needed to break decades of stalemate. Netanyahu's quick response shows they were waiting for this signal.
