Hamas official Bassem Naim announced readiness for a Gaza ceasefire if Israel respects proposals, urging U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to pressure Israel to halt its military actions. The statement follows Qatar’s suspension of mediation efforts, citing a lack of seriousness from both sides. Since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, which left 1,206 dead and 251 abducted, the Israel Defense Forces' retaliatory campaign has resulted in 43,764 deaths in Gaza, mostly civilians. Naim emphasized the need for U.S. intervention to end the violence, marking a potential diplomatic shift in the ongoing conflict.
