Dramatic developments are unfolding in the Gaza Strip, with the end of the war between Hamas and Israel appearing closer than ever. Celebratory cries of “Allahu Akbar” erupted from refugee camps in al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis in southern Gaza, after Hamas’s announcement, as reported by an AFP correspondent. “Israel must stop bombing Gaza immediately so we can quickly and safely release the hostages,” Trump emphasized around 00:15 on Saturday, Greece time. Hamas welcomed Trump’s call for a bombing halt as “encouraging” and expressed readiness to negotiate the release of hostages, war termination, and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. On Friday alone, at least 49 people were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, including 31 in Gaza City, according to local civil defense sources.
