Donald Trump News / After Israel-Iran and Congo-Rwanda, now Trump calls for Gaza 'ceasefire' agreement

Donald Trump News: Donald Trump has once again emerged as a pioneer of peace on the global stage. After playing a role in the ceasefire between Israel-Iran and Congo-Rwanda, he has now called for an end to the 20-month-long bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas. Trump on Sunday called for accelerating the ceasefire talks in Gaza and called it "a historic moment".

Step towards ending the war in Gaza?

Trump wrote on 'Truth Social', "Make an agreement in Gaza. Return the hostages." He said that if this agreement happens, it could end the 20-month-long war. This statement has raised a new hope in the international community.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit Washington soon, indicating that a new treaty is being seriously considered. According to US officials, this visit could give concrete shape to Trump's mediation efforts.

Background of the war

The war in Gaza began on 7 October 2023, when Hamas fired more than 5000 rockets in a surprise attack on Israel. About 1,200 Israeli civilians were killed in this attack and about 250 were taken hostage. In response, Israel launched a massive military action on Gaza which included airstrikes, siege and ground operations.

Devastating figures and humanitarian crisis

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 56,000 Palestinians have been killed in this war so far. These include top Hamas leaders like Ismail Haniyya, Yahya Sinwar and other prominent terrorists. The war has created a widespread humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hospitals, electricity, water and food supplies have been badly affected.

Global mediation and future path

The US, Egypt, Qatar and other countries are constantly mediating to end this conflict. The United Nations and human rights organizations have repeatedly called for a ceasefire, but proposals have been vetoed or failed due to political differences and strategic interests.
