US President Trump warned of large-scale bloodshed if there was a delay before the Gaza peace talks. Israel and Hamas will hold talks in Egypt today. Trump described the process as positive and necessary.
Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday urged Israel and Hamas to swiftly implement the peace process in the Gaza Strip. He warned that any delay could lead to large-scale bloodshed in the region. This statement comes as Israel and Hamas are scheduled to hold talks in Egypt today amid hopes for a potential ceasefire.
Trump Called Talks Positive
Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform that there were positive discussions this weekend with Hamas and other countries around the world regarding the release of hostages and ending the war in Gaza. He stated that peace has long been sought in the Middle East, and this time, talks are progressing in a very positive direction. Technical teams will meet again in Egypt on Monday to finalize the details. Trump said that the first phase should be completed this week and urged all parties to move forward swiftly.
Eye on Age-Old Conflict
In his statement, Trump clarified that he would keep an eye on this age-old conflict. He warned that any delay in talks would lead to heavy bloodshed, which is undesirable for any party. Trump stated that he is personally monitoring the peace process and will take every possible step to implement it.
Trump's Stern Warning to Hamas
Trump had previously stated that if Hamas did not agree to the proposed peace agreement for Gaza, it would face more attacks. Before the second anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, Trump's objective is to end the fighting and ensure the return of dozens of hostages. The American President's plan has been accepted by both Israel and Hamas. The plan has been welcomed internationally.
Order to Israel to Stop Bombing
Immediately after Hamas's consent, Trump ordered Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Hamas stated that it would release hostages and hand over power to other Palestinians. However, detailed discussions on other points of the plan are still pending. Senior Hamas officials said there were disagreements on some important issues that required extensive discussion. Trump welcomed Hamas's decision and emphasized its swift implementation.
Talks to Be Held in Egypt
The talks to be held in Egypt will primarily involve three points: First, ending the war in Gaza. Second, releasing the hostages. Third, reaching a permanent agreement between both parties to establish regional peace. Technical teams will discuss these points in detail, and efforts will be made to implement the plan quickly. Trump also urged the global community to support efforts for peace restoration in the Middle East.
