Trump Tells Israel to Halt Strikes as Hamas Signals Peace

In a dramatic turn, US President Donald Trump has ordered Israel to stop its bombing campaign in Gaza, claiming Hamas is now ready for peace. Hamas has reportedly agreed to parts of Trump’s peace plan, including the release of Israeli captives. Trump also extended thanks to Arab states for stepping in to support mediation. The move could mark a rare breakthrough in the devastating conflict, though questions remain about how lasting such a truce might be.
