The president of the United States, Donald Trump, demanded this Friday to Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip to be able to negotiate with Hamas the departure of the hostages.
Trump wrote this message on his social Truth network after the Palestinian Islamist group agreed to free the kidnapped, as part of the peace plan proposed by the US president.
“Based on the statement that Hamas has just issued, I think they are ready for lasting peace. Israel must immediately stop Gaza’s bombing so that we can free the hostages safely and quickly. Right now it is too dangerous,” Trump said.
“We are already negotiating the details that must still be resolved. It is not just about Gaza, it is the long -awaited peace in the Middle East,” he added.
On the same platform, the president published the Hamas statement in which the group accepted its proposal. Trump has also recorded a video message about negotiations with Hamas that will be disseminated in the next few hours, the White House said.

Hamas announced Friday in a statement that he has decided to free all hostages under Trump’s terms and pointed out his willingness to immediately negotiate the details of the agreement.
This same Friday, Trump had given Hamas a term until Sunday to accept the plan and warned that, otherwise, “a hell will be unleashed as never seen before” against Islamists.
The 20 -point plan presented on Monday at the White House, accepted by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamín Netanyahu, proposes the immediate end of the war, the liberation of Hamas’s hostages and the formation of a transition government for Gaza, who would be supervised by the US president and the former British prime minister Tony Blair.
This roadmap also contemplates the demilitarization of the strip and the possibility of negotiating in the future a Palestinian state, something discarded, however, by the Israeli prime minister.
