Israel agrees to Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, reports Reuters.

On September 8, 2025, Israel accepted U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. This was announced by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar at a press conference in Budapest.

Preparation for the Truce

Sa’ar stated that Israel is ready to consider a full agreement to end the conflict, which includes the release of hostages and the disarmament of Hamas. The minister noted that such a step could become the foundation for stable peace in the region.

Communication with Hamas

Hamas, in turn, announced on September 7 that it had received available ideas from the U.S. through intermediaries and is in dialogue to convince the parties of the possibility of a comprehensive agreement. Such an approach could change the negotiation landscape.

Timing and Conditions

It is reported that Israel is waiting for a response from Hamas by mid-September. According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s aide, if the group does not agree to the truce by that time, Israel will be ready to continue military actions. Israeli authorities emphasize the necessity of returning 50 hostages and eliminating the remnants of Hamas armed formations.

Prospects of Military Actions

If the dialogue does not lead to results, Israel will begin preparations for an operation in Gaza. The measurements of strength and readiness of the Israeli armed forces leave no doubt about their intentions to end the conflict.
