“After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!”

The map, critically, indicates that the Philadelphi Corridor between Egypt and Gaza would remain under Israeli control, alongside “Hill 70,” a key strategic hilltop overlooking Israeli territory.
Earlier on Saturday evening, a senior diplomatic source stressed that Israel will remain in Gaza, and there is currently no ceasefire with Hamas.
“We are now in the first stage of this framework,” the source said. “The IDF remains in Gaza, and any withdrawal will be only to the yellow line and to the encirclement of Gaza City during the hostage release stage.”
“No one is withdrawing at this point, this is a reduction of fire, not a ceasefire. In the first stage, all hostages will be released, and from there, negotiations will continue.”
Ill believe it when I see it-
Ah Nechtigen Tug-that it will happen!
Let us pray for peace and that the hostages are released. But Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blasted Hamas on Friday, saying its response to Trump’s plan was “predictable” and a “classic ‘Yes, but’.”
“No disarmament, keeping Gaza under Palestinian control, and tying hostage release to negotiations, along with other problems,” Graham wrote on X.
“This is, in essence, a rejection by Hamas of President Trump’s ‘take it or leave it’ proposal.” rabbi
“Given Hamas’s refusal to lay down its arms, Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas,” Netanyahu said. It does not look like he defeated Hamas at all
Hamas has not agreed to over half the ceasefire points. But Trump keeps saying they have an agreement. Huh?They are just stalling for time – and playing on Trump.
Unconditional Surrender, or flatten all of Gaza…..not really that hard of a concept
Ending 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE? Day dreaming…..
bring them home
trump brings peace, bibi sent 900 soldiers to death but hamas survives to plan a new 0ct 7th
