Hamas Urges Israel to Respect Ceasefire for Hostage Release, Reaches Out to Trump for Support
Gaza City – Hamas has called on Israel to honor the terms of an agreed ceasefire if it hopes to secure the safe return of hostages. The militant group, which controls Gaza, emphasized that adhering to the truce is crucial for ongoing negotiations. In an unexpected turn, Hamas also reached out to former U.S. President Donald Trump, requesting his involvement to mediate the situation and pressure Israel into compliance.
According to a senior Hamas official, the group is prepared to continue facilitating the release of hostages held in Gaza, provided Israel refrains from further military actions that could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire. “If Israel truly wants to see its captives return home safely, they must respect the terms of this agreement. Any violation will put future efforts at risk,” said the spokesperson.
Ceasefire Fragility Amid Growing Tensions
The call for restraint comes amid heightened tensions following days of intense conflict in Gaza and southern Israel. The ceasefire, brokered with international mediation, was seen as a temporary reprieve from escalating violence.
